[quote=Anonymous]As others have said, it’s a balance. DH is a neatnik by nature, but also grew up in a chaotic household, so cleans as a way to keep calm. I wasn’t raised in total slobbery (thanks to my mom) but don’t enjoy cleaning as much as DH does. I’ve come to appreciate the benefits of order, though. We insist our three kids keep their rooms clean. We’ve tried to encourage them to do small parts at a time, but it came to a head this week and we forced a big clean. It was a rough evening but we’re all better for it. We insist on things like cleaning up after themselves, bringing dishes in, etc. Clean as you go, for sure. We had someone clean once every few weeks pre-pandemic, and hope to start that up again in the new year. For now, we take turns with the bathrooms, which are really the only area that would otherwise be neglected. We do also have robot vacuums and mappers, and run those twice a week.[/quote]
