[quote=Anonymous]How do you balance all the chores and tasks associated with keeping a reasonably clean, well-functioning household with family activities outside the house? Realizing that I grew up in a home with pretty insane standards for cleanliness. (I was expected to dust the top of the doors, for example.) Weekends during my childhood were for cleaning and shopping. As a parent in my own family now, I see so many other families doing fun things on weekends while we're at home, cleaning and doing chores. How do you all manage to have a functioning and clean home and still have time to do fun things as a family? Do you pay people to clean your house? Lower your standards? Especially interested to hear from others who grew up in homes that might have been over the top when it comes to cleaning, but who found a way to break the pattern. Visual clutter and grime can be anxiety provoking for me. Hoping to learn how others learned to let it go. [/quote]
