[quote=Anonymous]I also work 30 hours, and our kids are cared for at our house, so I'm also "on" the second I walk through the door.  We have never had a housekeeper (and have not asked our nanny to do very much in the way of housekeeping duties).

There is always, always stuff on the floor in every room, except for the few moments once a week when we've just cleaned up.  Dirty clothes, toys, crayons, random bits of paper or string that the kids feel are important...This would have caused me enormous stress at one point, but it doesn't now.  I don't know why; maybe because it does not matter a damn to my DH and so I gave up.

Once a week I really clean our bathrooms, and either DH or I cleans the kitchen.  We have the kids help with a big toy pick-up once a week or so also, and when that's done we vaccuum and sometimes clean the wood floors.

I think my choices are either to leave things as they are, or spend most of every evening cleaning up after bedtime, and that seems like a path to irritation, so I leave it.  [/quote]
