Tidying up wouldn’t be nearly that difficult if the other people in the household also picked up and put THEIR things away. I find it frustrating when I am tidying up and the others are playing, drinking coffee, reading a book, etc while I am de-cluttering, washing dishes, washing/folding laundry, etc. It is not that I want to do these tidying things but that no one else will. I would rather join the rest of the group and do what I want to do; not what I don’t want to do. I don’t understand how to get the rest of the household on board with keeping things clean and clear of clutter with the “do it right away attitude”…Does anyone have any “fool proof” ideas other than hiring a housekeeper or bribing my family to keep the house in order?

A friend of mine used to spread a largish plastic sheet (could also be a cloth sheet or anything that might look a little better) under her kids’ high chair. Once the child was done flinging food around, she folded up the sheet and shook it out either outside or into the garbage. She put it back under the high chair right away unless it needed to be laundered. Another friend got a dog for the same problem. Magic!

Oh, I am just getting through the things in my reader now This is what I am trying to work on. I have always been a “come back to it later, do a thorough cleaning then” type person and at times can be a perfectionist. With two littles now, getting it done perfectly is never going to happen and I am learning that it is OK.

Myrrh… I so believe we were separated at birth. Okay, maybe that’s going to far, but wow… I smiled and rejoiced the whole way through your comment! I am the exact same way. Adult ADD? My mom says, Yes. I so love the way you worded it, though… methodical. I too do the same– appear to be so slow to everyone around me and then too often let it get me down. Right now as I speak there are piles. Piles of laundry on top of my bed. A pile of dishes in the sink. A pile of papers on the table. I have started on each pile, but start to think about things… and well, you know….

THANK YOU! This has been stuck in my head for the past week now, and it makes me feel so powerful, silly as that might sound. My husband and I are horrible about leaving things undone; we’ve even gotten to the point where we don’t change the toilet paper roll, we just place the new roll on top of the old. (HORRIBLE, I know!) This post has helped me in my baby steps toward a regularly clean house! Thanks!
