[quote=Anonymous]OP, you're tired and housebound in tiny living quarters with a small child in a pandemic. Of course you're stressed. Please find time for a long walk or some form of exercise most days. My solution in a small, NOVA townhouse with small children was to put them in a jogging stroller and then we would walk, run, walk. Getting out of the house for a change of scenery is crucial. It helps!

I also went to IKEA and bought a stack of colorful bins with lids for the toys. They stack nicely and gets the stuff off the floor. I also rotated toys -- some where out, the others went to the attic. When they came back it was like Christmas.

Let your child play. I had a neighbor who freaked out when her children brought out any toys and they always wanted to come to my house where they wouldn't feel guilty about it. My child didn't want to play at their house, either, because "she gets upset if there's a Lego on the floor." Think ahead; is this the type of parent you want to be in five years? Stop fighting the tide with cleaning 5x a day. Aim for good enough. In a few years, your kid will only want technology. [/quote]
