[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Since when are laundry and once a week mopping considered "deep cleaning"? These, and most other cleaning tasks, can be done in 5-10 minute increments throughout the day. I'm sorry if this comes across as rude, but OP I think you might just have issues with time management and organization. Figure out a way to schedule cleaning into the flow of the day, this really shouldn't be that stressful. [/quote]

Perhaps OP didn't list all of the things she does to deep clean.

OP you might already do this, but I will give you an idea I follow. I make a list of what to clean each week depending on our schedule. We all know schedules change, babies do not always take their full nap, and toddlers want to play! My list is more of a guidance. Each morning I look at my list and see what I want to get done. I do the bigger things first and work my way down. If I do not finish a task I add it to the next day. If I finish all of my tasks I see if there are smaller ones for the next day I can tackle. Friday evening if something hasn't been completed I tell MB and DB I just couldn't get to it because of X, Y, and Z.

I also keep a separate log from the children's detailing what I did each day. I know MB will read and see that I have used all my free time to keep up on the household chores detailed in my contract. [/quote]
