And blankets that are folded evenly. It may be the only thing I'm truly OCD about. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/can-you-completely-relax#post-1056957 Sat, 31 Aug 2013 01:02:20 +0000 sarac 1056957@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Nope. I cannot exist in a messy house. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/can-you-completely-relax#post-1056883 Fri, 30 Aug 2013 22:28:21 +0000 HLK208 1056883@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Nope!!! I feel so much better when my house is clean! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/can-you-completely-relax#post-1056880 Fri, 30 Aug 2013 22:25:30 +0000 fussygal 1056880@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I used to not care, but the last year or two it drives me bonkers to think about the mess and that it's not clean! Although I definitely don't always go with the urge to clean, heh. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/can-you-completely-relax#post-1056855 Fri, 30 Aug 2013 22:11:50 +0000 Caly 1056855@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Running Elley: Exaaaactly! The moment guests walk out the door I want the house back in order...I can't sit down and relax til everything is back in its place &amp; DH seriously couldn't care less.<br /> The same goes for unpacking after a trip, I do it immediately &amp; DH can (and has) leave a suitcase unpacked for weeks. Drives me insane. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/can-you-completely-relax#post-1056847 Fri, 30 Aug 2013 21:57:17 +0000 immabeetoo 1056847@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MsLipGloss: ditto. </p> <p>I used to be a neat freak but honestly.. it's just not an option any more. I care more about (and enjoy) baking and cooking from scratch and there are only so many hours in a day. I do a cleaning schedule now which means nothing is ever 100% clean but I'm getting better about not caring! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/can-you-completely-relax#post-1056839 Fri, 30 Aug 2013 21:39:38 +0000 Lindsay05 1056839@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No. And I get even more stressed out when LO pulls out everything I just put away. Or DH walks in the house with dirty feet. I could just cry! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/can-you-completely-relax#post-1056831 Fri, 30 Aug 2013 21:32:45 +0000 Baby Boy Mom 1056831@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes because with a toddler the house is never perfectly tidy but sometimes I need to relax so I'm teaching myself to ignore it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/can-you-completely-relax#post-1056827 Fri, 30 Aug 2013 21:31:15 +0000 MamaJ 1056827@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Nope. And staying at home has made it 10x worse! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/can-you-completely-relax#post-1056824 Fri, 30 Aug 2013 21:28:54 +0000 CupQuakeWalk 1056824@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No...I need therapy. I am a clean freak and it is exhausting because my mind is always on overdrive about the house! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/can-you-completely-relax#post-1056814 Fri, 30 Aug 2013 21:20:44 +0000 MapleMoose 1056814@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I need things put away. DH likes piles and it drives me crazy! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/can-you-completely-relax#post-1056760 Fri, 30 Aug 2013 20:28:44 +0000 Boheme 1056760@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@sorrycharlie: They feel all loose and weird and I can't fall asleep! My husband thinks I should talk to a professional about this... Lol </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/can-you-completely-relax#post-1056749 Fri, 30 Aug 2013 20:24:42 +0000 sorrycharlie 1056749@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@grizz: I can't get in bed if the sheets aren't fixed first! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/can-you-completely-relax#post-1056747 Fri, 30 Aug 2013 20:23:13 +0000 Boheme 1056747@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>It stresses me COMPLETELY out, said the girl who will make her bed 5 minutes before I get in it, just so it gets made that day. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/can-you-completely-relax#post-1056745 Fri, 30 Aug 2013 20:22:28 +0000 Bao 1056745@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No not at all, I'm actually super anal about this. DH doesn't get it though. I always grew up in a clean house though and he didn't so maybe that's why. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/can-you-completely-relax#post-1056742 Fri, 30 Aug 2013 20:20:11 +0000 bisous 1056742@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Nope, can't relax. My parents offered to come over this afternoon, but I chose to go to them just so I didn't feel compelled to give LO to them and start cleaning like a mad woman. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/can-you-completely-relax#post-1056741 Fri, 30 Aug 2013 20:19:38 +0000 MrsKoala 1056741@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I sure can but I've never been a hyper "clean" person so clutter has never bothered me. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/can-you-completely-relax#post-1056740 Fri, 30 Aug 2013 20:19:26 +0000 looch 1056740@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I don't do much anymore, other than laundry and picking up my son's toys. I just came back from straightening up the playroom.</p> <p>So I guess that makes my answer no! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/can-you-completely-relax#post-1056733 Fri, 30 Aug 2013 20:15:54 +0000 MsLipGloss 1056733@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>These days? YES. If the baby's asleep, I am as relaxed as I can be! Housework be damned! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/can-you-completely-relax#post-1056729 Fri, 30 Aug 2013 20:13:30 +0000 lemondrop 1056729@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Lol, you are nesting girl! Yes, I'm pretty good at sitting on my butt when things aren't done. If I waited to get everything done before I relaxed, I'd never sit down! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/can-you-completely-relax#post-1056666 Fri, 30 Aug 2013 19:42:50 +0000 T.H.O.U. 1056666@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>The dishes are done so that's enough. </p> [attach=1506/13/msddzf.448x600.image.jpg] https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/can-you-completely-relax#post-1056648 Fri, 30 Aug 2013 19:29:50 +0000 Smurfette 1056648@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes and no. Sometimes it doesn't bother me but other times I have to get it done. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/can-you-completely-relax#post-1056642 Fri, 30 Aug 2013 19:26:15 +0000 MrsH 1056642@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I can. Doesn't really matter how messy it is. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/can-you-completely-relax#post-1056635 Fri, 30 Aug 2013 19:23:35 +0000 MamaMoose 1056635@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>In case you need proof... This is the scene in front of me while I sit on my butt and watch tv. (Hubs is making dinner). </p> [attach=1787/13/msdd3b.600x450.image.jpg] https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/can-you-completely-relax#post-1056630 Fri, 30 Aug 2013 19:21:29 +0000 Cherrybee 1056630@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No chance!! If I can see mess I need to clean it. I can ignore things I can't see for an evening but I could never wind down with mess in my eye line. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/can-you-completely-relax#post-1056628 Fri, 30 Aug 2013 19:20:56 +0000 MamaMoose 1056628@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Haha... Yup. As long as nothing is DIRTY messy doesn't bother me. Tiredness always wins out. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/can-you-completely-relax#post-1056625 Fri, 30 Aug 2013 19:20:19 +0000 PurplePumps 1056625@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yup, I've gotten to the point where I'll just clean up when I feel like it and it doesnt really bother me anymore. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/can-you-completely-relax#post-1056622 Fri, 30 Aug 2013 19:18:48 +0000 deerylou 1056622@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Holy hell, no. I am a clean freak, beyond belief. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/can-you-completely-relax#post-1056561 Fri, 30 Aug 2013 18:52:32 +0000 Mrs. Jump Rope 1056561@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We clean up every night, right wrote Chloe goes to bed. We've made it part of her bedtime routine &amp; sing the clean up song.</p> <p>I guess that means neither of us can relax in a dirty house!<br /> Our kitchen is a mess right now and we are both going nuts trying to get it done before bedtime! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/can-you-completely-relax#post-1056545 Fri, 30 Aug 2013 18:44:02 +0000 mrs.cookie 1056545@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Nope, it drives me crazy! I've relaxed my standards a lot since having two little ones rampaging through the house, but I just can't relax when things are messy. </p>
