We have a very large house, 5 children, work alot but am usually home when the children are, ages 8-17. We seem to be losing control. The house is always messy with a once a week occasional clean look! I do think we have a clutter problem, and just plain dirt problem. I insist they take their shoes off but it still looks dirty all the time to me. Where do I start?
It seems everyone's lives became extremely busy and the house just got forgotten. I really miss the coming home to a clean home to relax. Now we tend to eat out alot, because the kitchen is dirty, no one is home or whatever. How do I get through these next 5-10 busy years? I hate to give up and just hire a housekeeper, I think the kids need to help more, but I'm so tired of fighting it too. HHHHEEEEEELLLLLPPPP!!!! :)
