I feel sorry for you because I go through the same thing with 4 kids and a husband and nobody will do anything except me! So I really don't know what to tell you, just that you are not alone even though you may feel that you are. I'm gonna check out the other lady's comment about the flylady or something like that. Maybe it will help me too! I wish you luck!

Make sure there is a place for everything(bookbags, schoolbooks, toys, sports equipment, etc. Be sure they put things away before going on to the next thing. Personal responsability. They need to pick up. Follow the path of mess, where is it coming from and how could you avoid it. Everybody puts shoes and coats away when they get home. At the end of the night(8pm) have evvryone join in a clean up time and have things ready for morning. God Bless You!

it is not undemanding. the only concern you may somewhat do is save disinfecting by making use of making use of Lysol and vacuuming, dishes and conserving the bathing room sparkling. i be attentive to there are toys and stuff around the residing house, yet attempt to forget approximately those toys and have them sparkling their toys up whilst they end, or in the event that they're too little, freshen up previous to bathing to unwind and get them to mattress. Or attempt a separate room altogether for his or her playtime. i be attentive to it is not undemanding, despite the fact that that's unreasonable to think of which you would be able to have a sparkling residing house for all time with childrens working around. that's lifelike to maintain it santized although!

I FEEL THE SAME WAY!!! I HAVE TWO KIDS TWO DOGS A CAT AND FISH
IT SEEMS I JUST GET CAUGHT UP AND IT LOOKS LIKE A TORNADO WENT THROUGH THE HOUSE
AS FOR THE PETS I USE A HAND HELD SHOP VAC ON STAIRS AND I SWEEP EVERYDAY. I TRAINED THEM TO STAY IN KITCHEN WHEN THEY R WET AND MUDDY.
I HAVE A LOT OF STORAGE CONTAINERS TOYS,HATS,GLOVES THIS WAY THE KIDS CAN PUT STUFF BACK EASILY. WE ALL HAVE ARE OWN CLOTHS BASKETS AND I MAKE EVERYONE PUT AWAY THERE OWN LAUNDRY.
NO FOOD OUT OF KITCHEN OR FAMILY ROOM AREA-HAVE TO BRING OUT OWN DISHES. I HAVE A PLACE FOR SHOES AND BOOK BAGS ,SCHOOL PAPERS
IT SEEMS I PLAY BAD COP A LOT
WHEN IT ALL GETS TO BE TO MUCH I TAKE A DAY OFF OR I AM ANGRY& RESENTFUL TOWARDS EVERYONE I NO LONGER FEEL GUILTY.
I GUESS WHEN WE HAVE KIDS AND A FAMILY WE CAN ONLY DO ARE BEST TO KEEP UP
GOOD LUCK I FEEL FOR YOU.....
