Cleaning

While I do a small amount of paid writing, I am mostly a housewife. Well, I guess that’s what you would expect from a blog with this name. I adore my long days with the children, cooking, crafting but I do struggle with the cleaning aspect of this job role. Our house has gone from slightly shabby to out and out filthy in the last six months. I don’t want a pristine and cleanly home but I do need to wield some cleaning equipment before we end up on a frightful television show about slatterns. The excuse of breastfeeding is waning and once Monty starts to take his naps in the cot I will have nothing stopping me. Except my general laziness…

    You struggle with cleaning because lets face it, there is always something more interesting beckoning you. Very important to maximise the fun. That is my motto. I just don’t let anyone in my house anymore, I am like the lazy wife from wifeswap. I have a blitz every now and then but struggle with a routine, as frankly I have better things to do.

    Your kids will remember the time you spent with them and the fun they had with you, not what the kitchen floor looked like :)

    I have to say it’s not high on my list either!

    Can’t you write a little more and pay a cleaner? I love a clean house, but I just hate cleaning. Weaning doesn’t make it easier… (there’s carrot purree about everywhere!!)
