[quote=Anonymous]I work 35 hrs/wk, DH works full time, and we don't have any household help, either for the housework or yard. It just isn't in the budget. Our house is reasonably clean and neat, but with two dogs and a child it isn't shiny clean. We do the clean the bathroom while child is in the bath trick, or now that he is old enough to be alone in the bath I fold laundry within ear shot while he bathes. Our house is very small, and that helps. It doesn't take more than 30 minutes to deep clean any one room, and we don't deep clean all that often. The kitchen is cleaned every night after dinner, with all dishes done and countertops wiped down and clear. DH usually does that while I put DS to bed, and then I finish whatever remains while he walks the dogs. All done by 8:30. I HATE clutter, and so I am constantly decluttering as I go - hanging up coats or handing the coat to its owner to hand up, trashing mail, tossing toys left on the couch into a basket to be taken up to the bedroom at bedtime. Saturday or Sunday DH takes DS out for a couple hours and I do whatever cleaning has to be done in peace. I kind of like that time.[/quote]
