And who knows how long they were on prior to that without being washed because I was just too big! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/household-fail/page/2#post-961389 Wed, 24 Jul 2013 23:26:20 +0000 shopaholic 961389@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Floors. As much as K spits up and drools all over these days, it's been weeks since I've mopped the floors. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/household-fail/page/2#post-961355 Wed, 24 Jul 2013 22:59:08 +0000 MamaJ 961355@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Vegmama: I was looking for one of my dog's toys today and looked under the dresser for it and there was so much dog/cat hair.. It was gross. Guess I know what I'm doing this week. </p> <p>I also don't remember the last time I washed a window. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/household-fail#post-961338 Wed, 24 Jul 2013 22:45:16 +0000 lovehoneybee 961338@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@grizz: I'm a little bit ashamed of how many times I just threw a hand towel or receiving blanket over a puddle of pee and went right back to sleep. Spoilers: it wasn't just once or twice. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/household-fail#post-961327 Wed, 24 Jul 2013 22:34:01 +0000 fussygal 961327@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@lizzywiz: I'm totally guilty of this one, too!</p> <p>Our shower hasn't been cleaned in...well, I can't remember. A long while :( </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/household-fail#post-961317 Wed, 24 Jul 2013 22:23:48 +0000 Mrs. PBJ 961317@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>...my name is CharityAnne...and my shower is kind of disgusting :sad: now that I've admitted my problem maybe I can move on to the recovery process lol </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/household-fail#post-959891 Wed, 24 Jul 2013 14:14:43 +0000 Bao 959891@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I haven't cleaned the bath tub in....a long time. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/household-fail#post-959867 Wed, 24 Jul 2013 14:09:59 +0000 cmomma17 959867@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Ugh, so many household fails! I'm sleep deprived man, what do you expect??! I keep up with laundry, dishes and cleaning my pump parts. Sheets, vacuuming, windows, NO WAY! The kitty litter has also been sadly neglected a few times since LO was born. I have also (several times) not changed our sheets after spit up or pee incidents. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/household-fail#post-959855 Wed, 24 Jul 2013 14:08:23 +0000 lovehoneybee 959855@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Right now our bedroom is a catch-all for...well, everything. It's a cluttered mess. I should fix that today...I much prefer it to be a calm room, but it just hasn't happened. Too much stuff in too small an apartment. E's room is half storage right now too! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/household-fail#post-959791 Wed, 24 Jul 2013 13:55:58 +0000 petunia354 959791@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mrskc: ugh. the blinds. don't remind me!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/household-fail#post-959718 Wed, 24 Jul 2013 13:40:08 +0000 mrskc 959718@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@petunia354: yikes, we've been in our house for 5 years and we've never washed a window. Oops. Just not something I think about. We never clean the blinds either. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/household-fail#post-959701 Wed, 24 Jul 2013 13:36:07 +0000 Vegmama 959701@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Smurfette: We just moved, and left the sheets on the bed, haha. Your post just made me LOL. </p> <p>After moving out of our apartment, we found a TON of pet hair behind and under the furniture. It was disgusting ... and made me want to be really aware of it in our new place. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/household-fail#post-959689 Wed, 24 Jul 2013 13:33:09 +0000 lindseykaye 959689@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We just moved out of a rental and into our first home. The disaster that was (is) left has opened my eyes to how crazy dirty the place was while we were living there.<br /> I think part of it was that we weren't as invested, part was that I put off things because I knew we would have to do them again on moving out, but part was just willful ignorance/laziness! Seeing how much dirt and pet hair was piled behind the couch, how much dust was on the blinds, how hazed the windows were has made me determined not to let this happen at our new house. </p> <p>Of course I say this now, we'll see if I can stick to it in the long run. I know for a fact that one of the cats already threw up under the bed the night we moved in and now over a week later I have yet to move the bed and clean it up. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/household-fail#post-959667 Wed, 24 Jul 2013 13:26:15 +0000 MsMamaBear 959667@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@grizz: LOL!

My sink is full of dirty dishes, and so is my dishwasher (fell asleep on the couch last night). I have two broken laundry hampers and need new ones but have been too lazy to get some (anyone love their hamper? My old ones are from IKEA, cheapie) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/household-fail#post-959629 Wed, 24 Jul 2013 13:17:37 +0000 ShootingStar 959629@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We have a cleaning service that comes every 3 weeks. By the 3rd week we've got dust bunnies in the living room. Which I do nothing about because I pay people to do that, lol. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/household-fail#post-959602 Wed, 24 Jul 2013 13:12:56 +0000 looch 959602@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Lately I've been forgetful of the wet clothes in the washing machine. Lots of rewashing going on to get that funk smell out. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/household-fail#post-959579 Wed, 24 Jul 2013 13:08:52 +0000 Boheme 959579@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Smurfette: @sorrycharlie: @mrskc: @MrsRoo: @Pepper: So glad I'm not the only one!

So my baby sleeps clean, just not Mom and Dad. </p> <p>I am so glad so many other's forget to change their sheets. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/household-fail#post-959535 Wed, 24 Jul 2013 12:58:10 +0000 lizzywiz 959535@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@chopsuey119: @blackbird: @petunia354: @MrsRoo: </p> <p>You are not alone!<br /> Dishes frequently pile up, sheets get changed because my husband does it, 12 years in our house and windows have been washed once- 6 years ago, and laundry rarely gets folded or hung up.<br /> I hate housekeeping. It doesn't bring me ANY satisfaction at all. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/household-fail#post-959526 Wed, 24 Jul 2013 12:56:57 +0000 BlueWolverine 959526@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>The bathroom trash is overflowing and piled against the wall on top of the can. It's gross.</p> <p>At least with our new part-time nanny, DH and I are incentivized to clean up a lot more! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/household-fail#post-959519 Wed, 24 Jul 2013 12:55:16 +0000 Pepper 959519@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@grizz: When LO spits up on the bed I do the same thing. Oops. </p> <p>Our floors are a mess, we haven't done laundry (other than LOs) in awhile, and our lawn is a disaster. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/household-fail#post-959515 Wed, 24 Jul 2013 12:54:47 +0000 dojo 959515@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Petunia354: Oh my gosh... you have reminded me that I have not ever washed a window in our house either and it's been over 3 years. Fail.</p> <p>I have never scrubbed the tub in our guest bath... I think it's only been used once or twice.... but still so gross now that I think of it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/household-fail#post-959513 Wed, 24 Jul 2013 12:54:13 +0000 petunia354 959513@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Ha.

Awesome! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/household-fail#post-959512 Wed, 24 Jul 2013 12:54:11 +0000 pui 959512@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>For 2 days DH and I didn't wash any dishes.

We've been in our house for four and I've never washed a window! :)</p> <p>I just cleaned our toilets this weekend but... it had been a while.

I have definitely done this. A few times...</p> <p>DH and I have been fishing clean clothes out of laundry baskets for a couple weeks because I hate folding clothes. Wrinkled? Meh, throw it in the dryer. Lol thank goodness we both have very casual workplaces! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/household-fail#post-959476 Wed, 24 Jul 2013 12:46:20 +0000 petunia354 959476@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Umm. I have lived in my house over 3 years and have never really washed a window. I'm surprised we can still see out of them :sad: </p>
