[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The amount of angst cause by dishes and laundry is astounding. It doesn’t matter. In 10 years it won’t matter. Change the things you can and accept those you cannot. Focus on what matters and your life will improve 10 fold. [/quote]

But like, even if it doesn't matter in 10 years, do you suggest that people just let the laundry pile up and wear dirty clothes and put dishes in the sink until it is full... ???

I get what you are saying to a point, but it isn't actually a solution.[/quote]

There is a place between perfect and squalor. Sometimes good enough is good enough. Wipe down the counters once a day. Put dishes away at the end of the day. Sort the kids laundry into baskets and let them dress themselves out of the baskets. These are not things important enough to make you unhappy and ruin your relationship. [/quote]

Good enough is the standard. Also, limiting your phone use really helps. I do a little cleaning each day, maybe 30 minutes beyond dishes and other daily tasks and my house is looking pretty good! And kids have to have chores. We can’t do it all. [/quote]
