I feel like a bad wife

Brittni Rimmer

I haven't cleaned the house in forever, and between work and sleep I never get anything done.

I hear ya.  I try to do at least 1 little thing a day to clean something.  I def. do not take care of things they way I used to!  I let a lot of things slide...

Me either girl. I'm excited when I actually get around to making the bed before it's time to get back in it!

For $15 an hour you too can have a clean house! I have a lady come in twice a month. We can't really afford it any more so this is her last month but man o' man does my house get clean. Baseboards, blinds, sink, stove, toilet - this woman is amazing!

If that isn't an option than bribe yourself. I tell myself that I get a treat for an hour of work ie time on the bump, ice cream, tv. I can trick myself in to it sometimes.

What is some nice little inexpensive treat you can bribe yourself with?

I'm with you. I'm doing good just keeping the kids fed and clothed at this point. I did will myself into doing the dishes this morning.

I am on the same boat, but getting better.  Our house was getting pretty bad.  Luckily my DH has been understanding and taking over some of my responsibilities, but I can not expect him to do it all. This weekend I had some energy so I actually vaccumed the entire house and then shampood the carpets.

Why should you have to do it all?  Get your husband to help you and just divide it up.  I used to do the whole house on Saturday while my husband did the yard, but now I don't have the energy to do it all at once.  Now we do a couple of things each day in the evening after work and he's been helping me.

I was feeling the same way. So one night when DH was working late I decided that when I got home I was going to scrub the floors and really clean up. Well I walked in the door and everything was SPIC AND SPAN! He had scrubbed the kitchen floor, bathroom floor and tub. Did all the laundry and vacuuming, dishes, EVERYTHING! I was so speechless I almost cried!

Who needs a perfect house? Honey you are creating a new life inside you!! I happen to think that makes you one of the best wives around!!

 I was the same way the first several weeks but I swear it goes away and you will be back to your old self before you know it! Just grow that baby by caring for yourself..that is being a good wife right now!! )

I've been the same way. By the time I get home from work I usually have no energy to work around the house. I try to at least do one thing like a load of dishes or a load of laundry, but it's piling up faster than I can keep up with it. I'm having a Tastefully Simple party in a little over a week, so I really need to get motivated and clean the whole house!
