We all have a different definition of “clean”🤢
do you... Clean up after your SO is done cooking? Or vice versa? DF was cooking and while he was cooking I unloaded the dish washer and hand washed the pot he had used and put dishes in the dish washer, so by the time he got his plate, dishes were done and left overs were in Tupperware on the counter just in case anyone wanted seconds and counters were wiped down. The room mate asked me why I do that, and I just say that's how I was raised. I always clean up after anyone cooks in the house, even after myself. I clean as I cook, so DF doesn't clean up because it's done before dinner is finished lol. But there's rare occasions where he'd be in the kitchen while I cook so he does help out with the cleaning since i cook during the day sometimes so we can heat it up when it's dinner time. I want everyone to get their first and seconds before I eat. My mom has taught me to always clean up after your spouse makes dinner, it's only fair. They put their effort into cooking, you should always help them out.
How often Do you ladies clean your carpets? I HATE carpet it gives me anxiety but we rent right now so there's nothing I can do about it. I know over cleaning it is bad and can cause issues. I ran the carpet cleaner over them 3 months ago and I'm ready to do again. I'm literally losing sleep because I feel like the carpets need cleaned again.
Clean house vs playing with your kids This is always a fun one. I often hear the excuse of "I would rather play with my kids then have a spotless house" as a reason for not having a clean house (and I don't mean clutter...I mean actually dirty). Personally I think that's a load of crap. I have quite a few kids who are disgusting pigs....but my house is always company ready and I don't spend all day cleaning in order to keep it looking nice and presentable. Granted I do have indentured servants in the form of children and a husband but even when my kids were babies it was never a difficult thing to accomplish. I spend roughly 1 hour a day cleaning and use the Motivated Moms app (which is awesome) and so have plenty of time to spend with my kids AND have a clean house. So, what's your opinion? Is it really 1 or the other? Or are people making excuses to justify their mess?

I've done that until my husband started to get annoyed with me. And because they say the chemicals are bad for the baby. Which I think it's fine as long as I have the fan and door open but my husband literally dragged me out of the bathroom. Now he's cleaning it.@mama_mara,

Yes it's our first. He's always been like this even when I wasn't pregnant says I clean to much. Now that I'm pregnant he likes to use it as an excuse for me not to do things. Like bringing groceries in or lifting boxes. @mama_mara
