[quote=Anonymous]i'm a SAHM...I'm in the minority it seems, but i do not make my kids pick up everything they play with every single time they play with something. We're home a lot so it seems like that would mean I would spend a lot of the day making them pick up stuff and a lot of battles would ensue.

they have a playroom and all toys stay in there, and we make them help tidy the playroom once a week and we try to make it fun e.g., put songs on, dance, etc.

I sweep the kitchen floor and wipe down the tables and counters after lunch. My husband does it after dinner because I cook. Dishes go in dishwasher after each meal, the dishwasher is ran at night and emptied in morning, repeat.

Laundry day is once per week, on Fridays. I do mine and the kids' laundry and sheets/towels.

I vacuum the downstairs twice a week, I vacuum the upstairs maybe once every other week.

I'm constantly decluttering, throwing things away, giving stuff to Goodwill, selling stuff on FB marketplace, etc.

Cleaners come once a month to do bathrooms, floors, etc.  If company is coming in between the cleaners coming, i will do these things myself.

I have 3 young kids, I let a lot of stuff go. I figure the house will be cleaner when they are older. I can't imagine spending 2 hours deep cleaning every night. I'm exhausted and up all night with a 5 month old, that's NOT happening lol.
