[quote=Anonymous]Joining the chorus of "it's not about size." We're in 1500 sq ft. It's being home all the time. No matter how organized you are, at those ages, you are just straight up outnumbered when it comes to managing mess. My mom, a SAHM when we were little, says that the only families she knows with clean houses are working parents whose kids spent most of their days and weekends in childcare and sports, so there just wasn't time to make as much mess. Obviously, we're all home making messes now. Our big quarantine Xmas break project was building shelving in the kids' bedroom closet so we could fit toys and art supplies more efficiently. It helped! Planning to build more cabinets and shelves in our tv/playroom as well, if ikea ever restocks. We also put a bunch in big Rubbermaid bins in the unfinished basement because the kids don't actually play with everything every day - out of sight is out if mind, they can either be rotated or purged.
