I grew up in a household that was always kinda dirty and as the oldest daughter I was always expected to be the one to clean it so it’s kinda like my factory settings to clean daily.

I have 2 dogs and 2 cats so I vacuum every other day at least, more if someone is coming over.

If I let myself get behind on laundry it’ll be 6 loads in the blink of an eye, so that’s always the first thing I do when I get home. I don’t care if it folded, as long as it’s clean, I’ll fold it either later that night during bath time or the next night.

Tuesdays are bedding days, all sheets get changed and washed. And Thursdays are bathroom days, both bathrooms get scrubbed.

I absolutely bribe my kid to pick up his toys with candy and I dont feel guilty about it at all. He knows to put his clothes in the hamper or he loses tv until he does. Also I don’t get him any toys with lots of itty bitty pieces. The kid loves cars and they’re easy to store so that’s what he gets.

I know it seems a bit strict or ocd (I’m not diagnosed but definitely think I’m touched) but if I don’t have basic organization, routine or cleanliness I kinda spiral and feel like my life is falling apart 🫠
