Cleaning

How important is cleanliness to you?

 

It's Not..!!

I Proudly Hold My Head High, And Describe Myself, As Nothing More Than

A "Dirty Old Man"......



Cheers Glen.

 

Pretty important I would say. I'm known for my house always being in order. I got that from my dad actually, my mom's place tends to be a bit of a disaster area!

 

My house is always a total wreck, it frustrates the shit out of me because I feel like I clean and clean but it's always destroyed when I come home. I always end up spending one of my off days completely cleaning the house... wich is what I did on Mother's Day, matter of fact.

I think I'm going to walk in the door one day, turn around, and walk right back out. haha

 

My place is messy, but clean...to me.

 

im borderline ocd about cleanliness....

maybe i should've put that in my rehab poll

 

i like a certain tidiness. but i get really really annoyed at the kids sometimes and refuse to pick up after them. then it goes straight to hell. i tend to keep my kitchen clean, though.

 

i don't know. i think its kind of fucked to care.

 

i find mess, filth, and disorganization uncomfortable and have a hard time relaxing in it's midst....

its probably a control issue

 

well, it's icky.

 

The kids are pretty good at picking up, my oldest keeps his room clean, and he loves to be able to use the sweeper, so he stays on it.

The boys have SO many toys it's unreal, and it make it hard for them... but I'm going to work on that tonight actually.

Rarely the kitchen clean at my house, it can get repulsive in there....

 

I'm the same exact way. Messes and disorganization make me feel anxious. I feel calm when everything is in place.

And I will be the first to admit I have many issues with control.

 

I am the same way!!!

It makes me feel like I'm a failure as a person when people come to my house. I rarely invite anyone over, and I hate when people come by unexpectantly.

 

messes and filth make me furious.

 

Well I hate when people drop by unexpectantly regardless of what my house looks like! I want a call beforehand just so I can be prepared!

 

You're telling me, sometimes I want to quit my job just so that I can keep my house clean and live off the state... I'd rather.

 

Yeah, but even if you're a SAHM like KC or I, you'll find that no matter how hard you work to keep the house neat and clean, once the kids walk through the door, all hell breaks loose again. It's a never ending cycle really! Spend the day doing damage control only to have it back to the way it was moments later! I think the key is to not let it get to the point where you're so overwhelmed that you don't even know where to begin.

And what with summer break starting in a little over a week, it's going to be a madhouse around my place.

 

Was not nice and was removed...

This thread is a blatant lie though.

 

What is your problem?

 

You.

Plain and simple.

Grow up.
