[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I see pictures all the time of people with these beautiful 4000+ sq ft homes with immaculate decorations, furniture, etc and wonder how the hell they keep their homes looking like that with kids and pets.

I have a 2600 sq ft home, 3 kids and a dog and my house is clean and organized but you can definitely tell they live there. Kid stuff is always found somewhere (hair ties from the girls, piece of paper on the counter from drawing, a random Lego) and then there are dog blankets on the couch in the sunroom where the dog likes to sleep plus dog toys and a crate for her to sleep in.

Do I just have to suck it up until I am an empty nester before I too can have one of those houses? [/quote]

My sister lives like this. Her life looks like a magazine. She is also a photographer. She has 2 pets, but they are usually crated. She just brings them out sometimes. I know they are not millionaires, and I don't really understand what they are doing to afford it all. No housecleaner that I know about, but they are 100% (her spouse too) focused on the way things look. I've never even seen a toy around the main living areas of their house. I will note that the furniture is not comfortable and just looks good in pictures. I don't envy them at all and won't reveal details here, but things are not as they seem. I think people that live like this are trying to hide something.[/quote]
