[quote=Anonymous]I am a WOHM and its so tough to get the cleaning done since I dont get home til 7pm every evening and have to lay with the toddler until he falls asleep. Then on the weekends I want to spend time with him so I dont like plopping him in front of the TV as a distraction.

The best piece of advice I can give you is to try to clean as you go. For example if you are making dinner and you use the cutting board, or strainer, or measuring cups clean them up right away and set them on the dish rack to dry. By the time dinners done you'll find that you would have washed up most of the untensils and dishes already and all thats left to do is wipe down the counters etc.

Another piece of advice I can give is get into the mindset of putting things back where you get them from and also try to teach your children to do the same. Everything has a place and it should go back in "its place" when done using.

Third piece of advice I can give is clean in 5 or 10 minutes "bursts". What ever you see that needs to be tackled take 5 or 10 min here or there to clean it and put it away.

Last piece of advice try focusing on one room at a time. If its the play room that needs to be put together tackle that. Once youre done move to the kitchen, bathroom, etc.

I hope this is helpful. I can't afford a cleaner either so I know how you feel. Good luck OP![/quote]
