It's all I do. I only get it clean about an hour before DH comes home from work and then it starts all over again, until after dinner! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-ever-just-want-to-give-up-on-keeping-a-clean-house#post-907259 Fri, 05 Jul 2013 06:17:20 +0000 dagret 907259@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have pretty much given in- we have a cleaning lady come every two weeks. My husband leaves his dirty socks every.where. And they day before the cleaning lady comes he has at least one pair of shoes in every room of the house, including the bathroom. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-ever-just-want-to-give-up-on-keeping-a-clean-house#post-907254 Fri, 05 Jul 2013 06:10:25 +0000 GrapeCrush 907254@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>yes! but DH hates a messy house, so he usually cleans up, even when it seems pointless! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-ever-just-want-to-give-up-on-keeping-a-clean-house#post-907134 Thu, 04 Jul 2013 22:43:35 +0000 Mrs. Jacks 907134@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@T.H.O.U.: you haven't met M then! She's a walking tornado. No joke, it's necessary to sweep after every meal with her. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-ever-just-want-to-give-up-on-keeping-a-clean-house#post-907111 Thu, 04 Jul 2013 22:15:17 +0000 T.H.O.U. 907111@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Jacks: four times in a day?! I usually only sweep four times a month (ok maybe a bit more) ! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-ever-just-want-to-give-up-on-keeping-a-clean-house#post-906256 Thu, 04 Jul 2013 07:39:40 +0000 mamabolt 906256@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Ugh, I am so tired of fighting a losing battle against animal hair. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-ever-just-want-to-give-up-on-keeping-a-clean-house#post-906244 Thu, 04 Jul 2013 07:28:59 +0000 hilsy85 906244@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes. I find it so so frustrating...I don't mind cleaning but I hate doing it constantly! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-ever-just-want-to-give-up-on-keeping-a-clean-house#post-906237 Thu, 04 Jul 2013 07:19:34 +0000 nana87 906237@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I can't stand clutter piling up, but actually cleaning I'm more lax about (plus, dh is more likely to clean than organize and put things away). Especially because we live in an old apartment--no matter how much we clean, it's always going to look dirty because it's just old and funky! the grime is like built in! so yeah, that I could give up on. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-ever-just-want-to-give-up-on-keeping-a-clean-house#post-906229 Thu, 04 Jul 2013 07:13:28 +0000 ladybee 906229@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@sera_87: I'm on summer vacation and its like my husband has forgotten how to do everything! It's so annoying! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-ever-just-want-to-give-up-on-keeping-a-clean-house#post-906171 Thu, 04 Jul 2013 05:22:42 +0000 Cherrybee 906171@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@sera_87: Woah!! That's horrendous!! My DH leaves his dirty socks on the sofa, which annoys me, but the table?!! He does fling his coat across the table every day when he gets in - and I hang it up (the cupboard is right there) daily. </p> <p>@BeachMama: Yes, I often feel like this. No sooner than you have got it looking nice, someone (DH) decides to make a sandwich and then there are crumbs all over the worktops.... or he opens his mail and leaves it strewn around the room. AGH! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-ever-just-want-to-give-up-on-keeping-a-clean-house#post-906161 Thu, 04 Jul 2013 05:04:54 +0000 doodlepoodle 906161@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Two dogs, a toddler, husband and I'm a ft WOHM...our house is never up to snuff! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-ever-just-want-to-give-up-on-keeping-a-clean-house#post-906153 Thu, 04 Jul 2013 04:42:47 +0000 lomom 906153@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yeaaaah. We have two shedding dogs and hardwoods. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-ever-just-want-to-give-up-on-keeping-a-clean-house#post-906120 Thu, 04 Jul 2013 02:18:23 +0000 Boheme 906120@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm a clean freak, but with a newborn I've had to just chill out. I printed a cleaning schedule so maybe my husband will see it and take a hint (messes are invisible to him) or I can choose one or two items off of it each day to feel a little more sane. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-ever-just-want-to-give-up-on-keeping-a-clean-house#post-906042 Wed, 03 Jul 2013 23:06:08 +0000 sera_87 906042@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@BeachMama: I know! I was so annoyed. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-ever-just-want-to-give-up-on-keeping-a-clean-house#post-906039 Wed, 03 Jul 2013 23:00:17 +0000 BeachMama 906039@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@sera_87 - no way...dirty socks on the table??? gross!!</p> <p>I get teased a lot by family because DH is a clean freak, but only really about dishes. The bathroom is disgusting and I don't think he's mopped the floor once. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-ever-just-want-to-give-up-on-keeping-a-clean-house#post-906033 Wed, 03 Jul 2013 22:51:02 +0000 Mrs. Jacks 906033@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@BeachMama: we swept four times today. Sigh! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-ever-just-want-to-give-up-on-keeping-a-clean-house#post-906032 Wed, 03 Jul 2013 22:50:23 +0000 sera_87 906032@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes! It's especially annoying when I spend time and effort doing something and DH comes along and does something irritating, like dirty socks on the table. Wtf?! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-ever-just-want-to-give-up-on-keeping-a-clean-house#post-906028 Wed, 03 Jul 2013 22:47:41 +0000 lovehoneybee 906028@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Ugh, yes. I hate cleaning, and it feels like no matter how often I clean it never stays clean for more than a few minutes! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-ever-just-want-to-give-up-on-keeping-a-clean-house#post-906022 Wed, 03 Jul 2013 22:45:44 +0000 MrsScottish 906022@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>yes me!!!! We are still in the moving in process- moved on Saturday! I am sick of boxes and dust and dirt!! 2 dogs, 2 adults and moving are not getting along with my cleaning! My husband literally took the cleaning bottle and paper towels out of my hands today! It is driving me crazy the house is not organized so I think I am trying to clean what I can to compensate! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-ever-just-want-to-give-up-on-keeping-a-clean-house#post-906017 Wed, 03 Jul 2013 22:42:27 +0000 BeachMama 906017@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I feel like I am constantly sweeping and cleaning the floors, especially in our kitchen. Tonight I said I was just gonna give up and let the dirt pile up. Oh, how great it would be to have a housekeeper! </p>
