I hate it! But I have such a hard time finding time to do it... especially with DD being the attention hog she is! =/ </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/wahms-do-you-feel-guilty-when-your-home-is-untidy#post-215819 Mon, 09 Jul 2012 21:38:10 +0000 heffalump 215819@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm a sahm and I don't feel bad at all. I follow my lo around all day. Ill start a project in my bedroom, then she crawls to the kitchen so I leave my current project as is and start a kitchen project. And during all of this she's pulling out books or CDs or whatever she can find. I clean up before the cleaning lady comes and I deal with a mess the rest of the time. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/wahms-do-you-feel-guilty-when-your-home-is-untidy#post-215762 Mon, 09 Jul 2012 20:19:17 +0000 chopsuey 215762@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm a SAHM and I feel bad when the house is messy! (which is every stinkin day..) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/wahms-do-you-feel-guilty-when-your-home-is-untidy#post-215633 Mon, 09 Jul 2012 16:46:59 +0000 s1lly 215633@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I don't work at home but sometimes it feels overwhelming when the house is untidy! Sometimes I ask my husband if we can just both take a few days off from work to clean but he says we can do it without having to take days off. I know he's right. I really want to hire a cleaning service to do dEep cleaning every 6 weeks or so </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/wahms-do-you-feel-guilty-when-your-home-is-untidy#post-215620 Mon, 09 Jul 2012 16:33:25 +0000 autumnlove 215620@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MsMamaBear: I'm thinking I might keep LO at daycare until 6pm on some days so I can get stuff done without watching her! I pay for it already! :-) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/wahms-do-you-feel-guilty-when-your-home-is-untidy#post-215606 Mon, 09 Jul 2012 16:23:21 +0000 MsMamaBear 215606@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Give yourself some slack working and taking care of kids, the house is going to fall off sometimes. And if you want to clean during lunch, just do it for 5 mins, not the whole time.</p> <p>@Thehistoryofus: Me either. :( I just come home and crash. I used to care, but I was running myself ragged being "perfect". </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/wahms-do-you-feel-guilty-when-your-home-is-untidy#post-215355 Mon, 09 Jul 2012 12:41:13 +0000 Mrs. Bee 215355@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes!!!! But it's so hard to find extra time in the day to clean with work, spending some time with olive, and cooking. It drives me crazy. I think we need a playroom.... That would solve a lot of our problems. :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/wahms-do-you-feel-guilty-when-your-home-is-untidy#post-215322 Mon, 09 Jul 2012 12:20:14 +0000 banana 215322@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm not a WAHM but I still feel guilty if the house is untidy! Actually, guilty isn't the right word...More like uncomfortable. I hate mess and clutter! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/wahms-do-you-feel-guilty-when-your-home-is-untidy#post-215315 Mon, 09 Jul 2012 12:17:34 +0000 T.H.O.U. 215315@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Something has to give. I WOH but try to either come home and clean or come home and walk but I can't find the time to do both! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/wahms-do-you-feel-guilty-when-your-home-is-untidy#post-215268 Mon, 09 Jul 2012 11:46:33 +0000 Andrea 215268@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes, I always try to keep everything tidy when I have a break here and there. I just like everything in order, though. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/wahms-do-you-feel-guilty-when-your-home-is-untidy#post-215243 Mon, 09 Jul 2012 11:28:15 +0000 Mrs. Jacks 215243@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm not a WAHM, but having lived the last 2 years with a WAHD, just know that I gave him MORE leeway than a WOHD or a SAHD. He was doing a job and taking care of 2 kids. Even if the house looked like a tornado had blown through, I felt like he was still doing enough!</p> <p>Short answer, cut yourself some slack! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/wahms-do-you-feel-guilty-when-your-home-is-untidy#post-215236 Mon, 09 Jul 2012 11:22:34 +0000 autumnlove 215236@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I get down on myself when my home isn't in order. I work from home 3 days a week so I think my house should be in better shape! Maybe I should clean during my lunch hour instead of taking a walk.</p> <p>WAHMs, do you feel guilty when your home is untidy? </p>
