The only things I fully reject from this OP’s list are letting anyone (myself included) have dishes upstairs (especially if I am supposed to collect them later) and cleaning bathrooms every day. I think that’s overkill. [/quote]

:lol: I hear you.

In my defense - I have 2 teen boys in HS. And a twenty something kid who ended up returning during pandemic and doing their first WFH.  No one wants to be home with parents least of all grown kids.  With virtual school, WFH...this was a whole lot of people who I feared could easily lose their minds.

For everyone's peace of mind and mental health...I became ok with everyone taking food, snacks, beverages etc, etc to their rooms.  Most of the time they were also working from there.  Whatever comfort I could provide to them was fine. Whatever I could do to keep the household functioning was fine.  I vowed to not lose my sh1t over inconsequential stuff.  I don't expect my kids to forever stay with me. They will be out soon.

I was not on cooking duty...so that worked out fine. DH and kids took care of that and grocery shopping. I was only doing cleaning and laundry.  Cleaning bathrooms every day is an overkill? No. Not at all. We have 3 and a half bathrooms for 5 people. 3 Males. [/quote]

Not PP but thank you. I really appreciate your list. I like a clean house and I think your method can help me be more efficient. I also agree that with teenage boys cleaning the bathroom frequently is a must. Lastly, I want to say that I can really tell that you are a good mom. [/quote]
