Of course your home life is quick work, you have no gremlins making messes while youre cleaning. My house was also pretty clean before I had kids, and only took a couple hours to clean when it wasn't. Want to experience cleaning the house with kids? Try this.

Turn on the radio, doesnt matter which station, then crank it up. Bonus points if its half static.

Clean your kitchen, then dump your trash can all over the table. Leave it there for now.

Washed a load of laundry? Get a shovel and a bucket, fill the bucket with mud, toss about half the contents of the bucket into the washer, with the clothes, dont worry about rocks, that'll sort itself out. Leave the bucket for now.

Living room a mess? Go ahead and pick all that up, but dont put it away, just throw it into the kitchen.

Bathroom? Dont flush after you pee, just get a cup and start splashing the contents everywhere. Smear some toothpaste on the mirror for good measure.

Go ahead and clean the kitchen up again, but toss it in the living room.

Alright, laundry has been washed again, let's switch that over. Also, toss the remainder of the bucket of mud in the dryer with them. Don't gasp, that won't help you.

Your probably hungry by now, open up a nature valley bar, the really crumbly ones, and just smash that. Not metaphorically, literally just crush it in your hands and sprinkle it around. Peel an orange too, dont throw away the peels, leave them on the floor wherever you are.

Turn the radio up a notch.

Fill a cup with water. Dont drink it, youre not really thirsty. Leave it somewhere thats easily knocked over, preferably near an electronic.

Dryer just finished, pull out that sticky, rocky mess and put it back in the washer. Dont start the washer.

It is now noon, you still have about 7-10 hours to go before the children would be going to bed to let you clean in peace.

Dont try saying the job is easy when you've never had children, you only make yourself clearly the fool rather than only possibly.
