...when your house isn't clean?
I can't and I hate it! I really wish that I could! I try (a lot lol) but I'm always stressed out instead of relaxing thinking about all of the things I should be doing instead.
-
I have the same problem! I just went and did the dishes during a tv show, lol.
-
I think that may actually be one of the few things that DOESN'T stress me out.
-
Nope, I hate it! I get so excited when DH offers to take DD out on a long stroll so I can CLEAN!
-
And my DH doesn't get it!!! When we have people over I want to clean up right after they leave so I can finally unwind but he wants to leave it until morning. It drives me crazy!
-
Nope. I cannot handle a dirty house. DH tells me to relax and do it later....he doesn't understand how much it bothers me!!
-
My house is always pretty dirty at the end of the day! Once the kids are down I relaxxxxxxxx.
I clean first thing in the morning
-
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.
-
We clean up every night, right wrote Chloe goes to bed. We've made it part of her bedtime routine & sing the clean up song.
I guess that means neither of us can relax in a dirty house!
Our kitchen is a mess right now and we are both going nuts trying to get it done before bedtime! -
Holy hell, no. I am a clean freak, beyond belief.
-
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.
-
Haha... Yup. As long as nothing is DIRTY messy doesn't bother me. Tiredness always wins out.
-
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.
-
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).
-
I can. Doesn't really matter how messy it is.
-
Yes and no. Sometimes it doesn't bother me but other times I have to get it done.
-
The dishes are done so that's enough.
-
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!
-
These days? YES. If the baby's asleep, I am as relaxed as I can be! Housework be damned!
-
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.
So I guess that makes my answer no!
-
I sure can but I've never been a hyper "clean" person so clutter has never bothered me.
-
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.
-
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.
-
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.
-
@grizz: I can't get in bed if the sheets aren't fixed first!
-
@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
-
I need things put away. DH likes piles and it drives me crazy!
-
No...I need therapy. I am a clean freak and it is exhausting because my mind is always on overdrive about the house!
-
Nope. And staying at home has made it 10x worse!
-
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.
-
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!
-
@MsLipGloss: ditto.
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!
-
@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 & DH seriously couldn't care less.
The same goes for unpacking after a trip, I do it immediately & DH can (and has) leave a suitcase unpacked for weeks. Drives me insane. -
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.
-
Nope!!! I feel so much better when my house is clean!
-
Nope. I cannot exist in a messy house.
-
@sorrycharlie: @grizz: I am a freak about sheets that are straight and even. And blankets that are folded evenly. It may be the only thing I'm truly OCD about.
