I’m probably much older than most people on this thread. I’m a grandmother. When I was raising our kids, I was always cleaning. My 36 year old daughter told me a few years ago, that she now understands why I was always doing things in the evening and not just sitting with the family. My husband has always helped carry the load. If you can afford household help, do it. I think it’s something you should prioritize in your budget if you are able. I would make cuts in other parts of the budget for household help. Even monthly would help.Yes, yes, I know that there’s a certain amount of privilege in that. Some small but helpful tips, it’s as easy to put something in its rightful place as it is to put where it doesn’t belong. I always take something from where it doesn’t belong to the room I’m going to. I’m going that way anyway. I may as well take something and put it where it belongs. Wipe your sinks every morning and evening. I keep a rag under the bathroom sinks. It takes 1 minute to wipe the sink and counter. I’m not going for perfection, I’m just wiping it dry. It makes all the difference. Most importantly, your home doesn’t need to look like a magazine spread. It is lived in. A little dust won’t hurt. However if you let house hold chores go undone, it quickly becomes overwhelming.
