i really wanna clean my house but i just cant find the energy?

Question

it aint really messy but my boyfriend just moans at me because i would rather play with my baby daughter than do the ironing

Answer 1

I have 2 kids 3 n under, due in 16 weeks with #3.
Playing with your baby is great, a spotless house is not always a sign of a happy child.

I pay a cleaner once a week to help out, if your boyfriend doesn't like your house keeping he can help out or leave, raising a child is hard work and is more then sticking them in front of the TV just to all ways have a spotless house.

You need time with your kids, save the spotless house till when they go to school n you have more time. For now enjoy your child as they grow up fast.

With the energy, make sure you have a good healthy diet, exercise for 30 min a day. Find a good vitamin supplement to take, if that doesn't work see your Dr. (Also children take a lot of energy, especially when they keep you up most of the night).

Answer 2

Remember the old saying: "How do you eat an elephant? One bite at a time!"? You are overwhelmed by the task at hand. Start small. Pick one area that you would love to have organized and clean. Say, where you watch TV, or that cluttered corner or that terrible kitchen counter. Do that one are and stop and enjoy the feeling. Promise yourself you'll do another tomorrow. and so on. In two weeks, things will be looking much better.

Answer 3

I hear ya... try starting with one area that is really on your nerves. Maybe decluttering the rooms first, rather than actually cleaning. Too much clutter really drains my energy. Next do a small area where you spend a lot of time. By hitting the areas that bother you first, you appreciate the work getting done... then maybe you'll have a change of attitude and be willing to finish up the areas you don't see as much.

Answer 4

Start with the room that´s driving you mad first ,set your clock for 15 min´s and see how much you can get done in that time. then have a rest , then do the same again . if you only want to do 15 min´s fine it´s up to you , don´t take things back to there right full places leave them outside the room you are cleaning . Then when you have finished the room you can put things where they belong.15 min´s here and there you will be surprised just how much you can get done

Answer 5

Just do one room a day until its done. Or if that's too much one room a week!

A lot of us would rather spend our energy doing more enjoyable tasks but the housework can only be put off for so long.

Answer 6

Get the boyfriend to help. He lives there too, after all.

It's generally easier to clean in the mornings, while you still have most of your energy. Now, you might find a schedule or check list to be useful.

Good luck!

Answer 7

Here's what you do, put Kelly Clarkson - Walk Away on full whack, off you go and get cleaning.

Afterwards you can play with the baby.

Answer 8

just do abit at a time or better still get a cleaner twice a week for two hours, depending where you live this would only cost you £12 a day, worth every penny to spend that time with your daughter and keep your boyfriend happy!!

p.s. i wish someone would terminate the cretin 'suck ma dick', has he not got a life!!!!

Answer 9

No need to clean everything in one go, can do portion by portion day by day, the most important in cleaning is throwing away those things not in use for the past two years..

Answer 10

Why can't you fit playing with your daughter AND keeping your house clean? It just takes a little organisation.
