The Everyday Of Keeping House From Turning Into A Shithole Is So Exhausting
Poast new message in this thread
Date: January 19th, 2026 4:35 PM Author: sexy twinkling uncleanness it's so easy to let the house become a complete shithole, and it's exhausting to keep up with it.
just seems like a never ending hamster wheel to prevent the house from going to hell, and wastes so much precious time at the end of the workday.
it's all little stuff but it all adds up. loading and unloading dishwasher, cleaning the shit that doesnt go in the dishwasher, wiping down the kitchen countertops, sweeping/vacuuming under where the kids eat, opening delivery boxes and putting shit away, breaking down the boxes and taking them to the garbage, taking the garbage out on trash days etc. |

a housekeeper coming every other week doesnt deal with the daily grind.

Date: January 19th, 2026 9:52 PM Author: adventurous clear meetinghouse brethren Some people are giving you shit, but it is true. A lot of life is really just low level maintenance to keep things running in some way shape or form. Easy to go crazy when you look at the full picture:
--Need to get 7+ hours of sleep to have energy for the day --Need to go to a gym to do exercise to stay physically fit (because your job is sitting in front of a screen all day) --Need to eat healthy food and possibly even track what you eat to stop from getting a gut --Need to cook your meals (to stay healthy and manage spending) which means you have to clean dishes and all that bullshit --Need to clean up around the house so it doesn't get out of hand --Need to clean up after your kids --Oh wow would you look at that its 10pm. Better get to sleep so you can do it all over again tomorrow!! |
|
Date: January 19th, 2026 9:56 PM Author: sexy twinkling uncleanness exactly. now imagine some other random shit comes up, further wasting your time. plus we have a baby.
wife and i have decided not to sacrifice on any of those things -- we both want to be healthy and well rested, and not live in squalor. it's exhausting.
wife feels like she barely has any quality time with the kids, and the evenings with them are just us engaged in slavery to feed them and get them ready for bed and in bed and to clean up their toys. |
|
Date: January 19th, 2026 10:03 PM Author: adventurous clear meetinghouse brethren I don't know your whole story, but if your wife also works then it is truly a grind. To your earlier point, no clue how two income households make it work with minimal outside help. I do think some people are just "built" to have kids and big families to some extent.
The plus side is that once the kids hit a certain age, it will chill out. Lots of ultra concentrated effort for a relatively short time that reaps big benefits for everyone over the long haul. Obviously that doesn't make it less unpleasant when you're stacking the dishwasher for the 9,000th time. |
|
Date: January 19th, 2026 10:07 PM Author: sexy twinkling uncleanness yes, we both work. both wfh which makes the grind much better. plus we have a home gym. so easier to eat healthy lunches and work out.
and as mentioned above, we have lots of family help. it's still an insane grind.
im hoping it chills out soon. the baby stuff is obviously making things worse. |
|
Date: January 19th, 2026 10:49 PM Author: charismatic cruise ship You're in a great situation. Just try to focus on how lucky you are to be able to WFH and not commute to an office on top of all the other stuff you're responsible for.
