Cleaning ordeal
Filed under:

I do not know if I am the only one but I find it really difficult to take care of my baby (10 months old) and at the same time keeping our house clean. I was a full working mum from March, when he was 6 months old till end of June while he was in Creche. He really enjoyed being there and it did him a world of good to be with all other kids. But of course I missed him all the time while in work and when it came to weekends all I wanted to do was spend time with him and not do other things like cleaning. His room and our kitchen were the only rooms that I would clean regularly.
As a result our house is one giant mess. We had a lot of things before baby came along but now it seems like it is becoming uncontrolable. My work contract finished at the end of June and I couldnt find another job before that. So we had to take my baby son out of creche as much as I didnt want to do that. We went away on holidays for couple of weeks and when we returned the mess in the house started getting to me.
At the moment I try and do small bits and pieces while my little one is taking his nap but recently he is sleeping less and less and as a result it seems like there is no change. This also puts me in a gloomy mood..
I know we have to reduce the number of things we have but feel like I have no time to do that and if I try and sort things out I end up taking things out of the attic or closets and have no time to put them back in. I asked my hubby to help and even though he says he will help he really doesnt as there is no time or he just 'forgets'.
Are there other mums out there who are in the same position? How did you deal with this?
