[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don't get the mindset of people who don't prioritize cleaning even when there are small kids. You don't have to be perfect/obsessive, but if your kids don't see you clean, and don't grow up in a relatively clean/orderly environment, who is going to teach them those good and healthy habits?

Cleaning is really important with small children in the house. Think of what they pick up or could choke on when they are scooting/crawling/playing on messy floors!

No need for anyone to become exhausted or crazy in the process, but [b]there is no good reason not to have a decently clean and tidy home[/b][b].[/quote]

I am a clean freak and yet even I know there are plenty of good reasons people don't have clean and tidy homes.  One being highly active or ADHD kids. I could spend my entire day cleaning up the messes my boys make in about 10 minutes flat.  And even longer getting them to clean it up themselves, which I do do, but it is EXHAUSTING to be at it constantly, to be constantly on my kids' case to pick things up, throw things away, to be careful not to spill, get one thing out at a time, etc.  And there are times I just throw up my hands and give into the mess so I can have a moment to myself to read or relax or read DCUM or to give them a break from the constant reminding from me to be neat.  Which I doubt they ever will be.

I am certain others have just as legitimate a reason for having messy homes.

Go look at the plank in your eye before pointing to the speck in someone else's.[/quote]
