People clean walls??</p> <p>@snowjewelz: I used to love bathing my dogs but I never get time to these days - they need blowdrying afterwards (they're little fluffy things) and the hair might aggravate DD's asthma..... they STINK right now!! </p> <p>@cmomma17: Oh, I don't know - do I not need to do this?! I thought I did! Mind, our kid is a fountain of snot and vomit, if I didn't wash things we'd all be sick.

I keep up with laundry and the dishes somewhat, but I'm taking 15 units in school and next week is finals week, so I gave up on the house. There are snowdrifts of dog hair. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-there-any-household-jobs-you-are-just-not-on-top-of#post-1629878 Mon, 12 May 2014 18:56:20 +0000 Foodnerd81 1629878@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@lemondrop: This exactly! I feel like I generally have everything just done enough to not be a complete disaster, but one lazy day/ bad night of sleep / cranky baby and skipped nap and it goes straight to disaster zone. </p> <p>But the thing that bothers me the most is the floors. I try and at least dry swiffer the wood, but we don't vacuum the area rug enough, so the dog hair and general shedding very quickly accumulates on the wood again. It's hard vacuuming since I try to clean while the baby is sleeping but her room is near the living room.... but mostly I just suck and cleaning. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-there-any-household-jobs-you-are-just-not-on-top-of#post-1629874 Mon, 12 May 2014 18:54:08 +0000 pastemoo 1629874@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Cherrybee: Haven't cleaned the baseboard since we moved in. Don't plan to... And walls are vertical, they don't need cleaning because the dust falls down, right? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-there-any-household-jobs-you-are-just-not-on-top-of#post-1629816 Mon, 12 May 2014 17:59:03 +0000 lemondrop 1629816@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>hahahahahhhahaaha!</p> <p>We have a fine balance of nothing being mastered but somewhat managed and if a tiny thing happens (we get sick, hit a busy work stretch, etc) it all comes crashing down.

It is kind of a disaster to keep our floors clean. We have two cats and they are unsealed wood floors.</p> <p>My husband is a maniac about the litterboxes. He cleans them twice a day. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-there-any-household-jobs-you-are-just-not-on-top-of#post-1629760 Mon, 12 May 2014 17:12:41 +0000 Mrs. High Heels 1629760@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I hate folding laundry. I have a pile of clean laundry that's been sitting in the hamper for 3 days now. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-there-any-household-jobs-you-are-just-not-on-top-of#post-1629678 Mon, 12 May 2014 16:19:39 +0000 MrsStar 1629678@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>All of them. Keep telling myself I need to start some deep cleaning now because we move at the start of August and would rather not have to do deep cleaning when we move. I'm also way behind in the dishes, laundry, vacuuming and general tidying up. I'll just wait until I get in the mood for a cleaning spree! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-there-any-household-jobs-you-are-just-not-on-top-of#post-1629658 Mon, 12 May 2014 16:13:36 +0000 snowjewelz 1629658@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Ugh I dread bathing my dog!

I was way more on top of this when LO was an infant and took multiple naps a day bc I had so much time at home. Once she went to one nap it's so hard to stay on top of the cleaning in addition to the cooking. I don't know how things work when you have more than one kid. My big birthday/Mother's Day/anniversary gift this year is getting cleaners to come every 3 weeks so things don't get out of control. We just started and may move to every two weeks if needed but after one visit I already feel like the cleaning is more manageable for me day to day...like if it's all clean it's easier to keep clean than when the house is just a disaster it's hard to get ahead </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-there-any-household-jobs-you-are-just-not-on-top-of#post-1629612 Mon, 12 May 2014 15:58:39 +0000 Mrs. Sunshine 1629612@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mrs. wagon: haha we change our sheets like once a month maybe?

She couldn't come this month so for starters I am behind on everything but I also realized that the detail stuff she isn't in charge of has been totally forgotten. There are scuff marks on the walls, the windows are gross, drains are slow etc and I just haven't noticed since I am not cleaning regularly. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-there-any-household-jobs-you-are-just-not-on-top-of#post-1629558 Mon, 12 May 2014 15:40:48 +0000 Mrs. Bee 1629558@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>everything. the only thing i'm on top of is the laundry because i have to do it! </p>
