Well, were do I start... I have 3 boys, 17, 14 and 10. I have three jobs and then the mom thing too. Even though each boy has a general chore everyday (trash out, dishes, and laundry) I still walk around the house and clean. I only cook if it can be made from the microwave, sweep the tracked in mud every night, vaccum with that powdery scent stuff to get the smell of sweaty boys out of the house and if my giant kids wrestle in my cracker box living room one more time........ok, sorry lost control for a moment, any hoot, my husband and I have been together for 18 years and love the crap out of that man, but hes a deputy and works nights he does what he can to keep me from going postal, but this chatting will help also. PS "call before you come over so I can clean my house" sound familiar to anyone else?

Hello, wow...I hope to hear some good tips from this group. I feel like I fall into this group very well. I am married, work full time, and mother of 4 boys....10, 6, 3, and 6 months. My 10 year old is going through talking back, major attitudes, and tempers....and man homework, I am about to go crazy every night with that. My 6 years needs attention all the time and is more worried about what everyone else is doing and loves to tattle tail, my 3 year old is into everything. Everytime I straighten up a room, he is back in there messing it up. I try to make him clean up his mess, but sometimes it is a major battle. He climbs in cabinets for food and tries to make his own drinks or cereal. Then my new baby, just cries if you are not holding him or not in the same room with him. Ok my husband, well that is whole different subject. Trying to clean, cook, work, laundry, homework, sex, and getting ready to start baseball with 2 kids, I just need a place where I can come to vent or get helpful advise and to see how other mom are doing it. Everyone always tells me they do not know how I do it with 4 kids, but if they could be a fly on my wall...LOL

Oh my...Did I laugh when I saw this group....because it is so me!! I am so domestically challenged and sometimes just want to give up. I will clean an area up to turn around and find it a mess in five minutes. I feel defeated when it comes to my home. I do have 3 children, 6,3, and 1. The youngest Lundyn, thinks everything is an art supply or project, including the toilet. We have locks on doors and drawers, chairs and garbage pails on top of tables, and gates in doorways. Give her a drink in any style cup she will manage to have it all over the floor, a table, in shoe or boot...to use as finger paint...even if it means sucking up the liquid and spitting it out. Sippy cups are not spill or leak proof with this one. So tips I will enjoy and sharing our circus stories. Sometimes all I can do is grab the camera, laugh and cry.

Very excited about a new group to share my house keeping woo's with! I have newborn twins and try as I may there are ALWAYS dishes in the sink, dust bunnies on the floor and laundry not put away!

I am not sure how to ever get it all done anymore, but I will never give up one cooing minute with the babies to ensure my home is white glove ready. A very different stance than I would have had pre-baby, a very different me!
