A HOUR of TRYING to CLEAN my CLUTTERED home, OVERWHELMING 

First time viewer. I’m noticing that with each task you successfully complete, you say “I’m lazy, that was disgusting, I should have…, etc.”. You accomplished so much…give yourself the credit you so deserve.

I’m coming from a caring place here. I recommend a family meeting. Your kids are old enough to take some of the responsibility in keeping an uncluttered house. Maybe new rules about clothes shoes and putting dishes away. You could give them each aage appropriate list of chores and create a reward system for accomplishments. Otherwise Beth it’s like you’re digging a hole in the sand that just keeps falling back in the hole. You deserve help and the kids will learn at the same time. You deserve joy! 🌷💛

I watch a man called Midwest magic. He is fantastic explaining things. He has autism and explains how his brain works. He explains the best way to clean. He cleans professionally too. I watch him for motivation and help. Good luck to everyone on their journey.😊

I have some tips for keeping the house somewhat tidy; 1. Everything should have a home and everyone should know where things belong 2. Never cook in a messy kitchen and clean as you cook 3. To help motivate the kids, make cleaning a group activity- music playing, set a timer to race against. 4. really build up the sense of ownership of the house and accomplishment when cleaning ie. This is OUR home, we are so lucky to have it. Encourage them to style the cushins/decor etc.. Hope this is helpful

Omg you remind me so much me. I feel exactly how you feel. I feel so burnt out. But i try not to give up. My house looks just like yours and i get no help. I am here for you. Thank you for sharing and making me feel like I'm not the only one going through.❤

You are doing way too much, you are going to burn yourself out! Your kids are all old enough to help you, and to clean their own rooms. I’m so sorry your husband is having serious health problems. All the more reason for your kids to start immediately helping you out. You can’t be expected to do everything by yourself. Really you husband will most likely need you to in the near future. Therefore the kids need to start helping you around the house. Assign chores to each one of them, and have them clean their own rooms.

One time I enlisted my daughter and husband for a 15 minute cleaning session. They could pick kitchen, bathroom or living room. We all worked for 15 minutes and it made a Hugh difference. I also used to have everyone clean during commercials of whatever show we were watching. You would be surprised at how much can be accomplished in just a few minutes at a time. And, the kids didn’t complain so much.

Okay, so I’m here. Hello! So far I’ve heard your husband is sick, you’re homeschooling your kids, two of which are twins with autism. I feel like you have a lot going on. Please do not compare yourself to others who always have it together and always “seem” to have a clean home. Your house got/gets crazy because you have so so so much more on you than what others do. I’m not saying it’s impossible for you to keep up with everything, but it is harder for you solely based on your circumstances. Just do what you can and give yourself grace when you cannot. 💞

Please don't hate your life, you are doing a great job....

Thank you so much for posting this content! This video came into my feed the same day I looked around at my own house and immediately felt overwhelmed and ready to give up. You’ve given me hope ❤

Thank you for this realistic video. You have got this. We are in this same transition of getting our home decluttered and children completing chores.

I don't want you to be stressed like this. I'm new to your channel and I'm going to be rooting you on for change to make your life simpler so you can enjoy the day! ❤

Hello, just watching this for the first time to get some motivation to clean and declutter my own house and I just wanted to offer some kind advice and support. Firstly, you are not just cleaning your house, you are doing three things (cleaning, organizing and decluttering) at once! Girl, no wonder you're tired anyone would be, so give yourself some grace! I agree with the other commenters about getting your family involved as much as you can but until then try setting smaller goals, for example: 1) before bed spend 10 minutes removing just the trash, nothing else, and do this every night, this is will automatically reduce your visual clutter and the emotions that come with it 2) pick a day or time and give yourself 10 minutes to declutter/organize a room or space each day, also a way to reduce visual clutter 3) use a basket system on the first floor (each person get's one) and as your organizing, put items into that persons basket so that they can be put away by that person at a later time, this gives a landing space for things on the first floor without you have to expend energy/time to put things back where they belong and 4) separate deep cleaning from regular cleaning, deep cleaning is much more time consuming when sometimes just a good wipe down is all you need. When we separate cleaning from organizing/decluttering it allows us to focus on smaller tasks and the cleaning becomes easier because we are not trying to do it all at once. I think this will help with the overwhelming feeling. Also, it's important to remember life has seasons and sometimes what we could accomplish in one season is not what we can do in the current season and that's ok. Blessing to you, you are more than enough and you will get through this.

OMG! I’m not even half way through your video. And your thoughts are so comforting. Just plain normal. I can’t explain how you make me feel. We can’t be perfect. Keep striving.❤

Let me preface by saying, you are putting in the effort to clean your home. You're doing great! My only thought is you don't finish cleaning an area completely. You get side tracked, and move to another area. You were making progress in the living room, and moved to the patio. I'm not an expert, but if you can see an area completely clean, maybe it will give you motivation to move to another room. Idk, thats my two cents.

I decided to watch your video because I can no longer clean and I really miss doing it. I guess it’s not always fun when it’s too much. Now I remember being overwhelmed after watching you work so hard. You did an amazing job. Thank you for sharing

Hi 😊 Could you go around the house and just collect the trash everyday? And then go back to doing a 10min tidy in each room everyday? I genuinely come from a place of wanting to help 🫶 I’m a perfectionist and I had to overcome the high standards I would set to myself and change my mindset to, it’s good enough. My perfectionism would stop me from even beginning the task. You are doing amazing! Try not to be so hard on yourself ♥️

It is great to homeschool, but life skills are a thing to teach too. You are right that you never have them gone, to catch up. You are not lazy. You work hard. You have many animals to care for. Kids can have pet care assignments. When you finally get the kitchen clean..instead of cooking..say hey..this is a burger and fries take out night with paper plates. Give yourself breaks. If your husband burns food, then he can clean it. You need help. I just found you, but I’m worried about you. Tell the kids o food deliveries to the couch unless all bowls, etc. are brought over, rinsed, and all random paper on floor is thrown away. They can cut apples and peppers up. They can fold a load of clothing once a day. You are a precious mom. Take care.

It's hard when its mainly one person doing the cleaning and in your case 5 people doing the uncleaning, in my case its 4, it's hard even when the others help out some, its still difficult to keep ahead unless you're a robot and cleaning like you having nothing else to do and then have a breakdown from nervous exhaustion , don't be so hard on yourself Beth, from what I can see you're kicking it most of the time, if all else fails treat yourself to a whole house top to bottom clean from a cleaning company while you go get a pedicure, not too often 3-4 times a year is probably safe to get away with 🤪Really enjoyed this clean!

I’m much older, after retirement I started cleaning for others. Having ocd it helped with my obsession to clean and organize. Eventually my back and hands gave out and have had 4 hand surgeries. Now I’m a full time nanny. And I clean their house like it’s my own. Having kids and keeping up a home is never ending. Yes, putting things away is the most important part of keeping organized. Organization makes cleaning so much easier. It’s overwhelming. Keep plugging away, you’ll get there.

Hello, I am new here. But wow, you are way too hard on yourself! You can't be expected to keep your home spotless at all times. Your children are definitely old enough to help you around the house. You should make a chore list and have them all do things around the house as well. Such as folding laundry and putting it away. Sweeping and vacuuming, loading and unloading the dishwasher. So many other things! My children did chores growing up and I rewarded them every week with an allowance. They really enjoyed the reward, they would save it up and I would take them to shop at their favorite store. I am truly sorry to hear about your husband, it sounds like he will be needing you even more down the road, so your children should definitely be helping more around the house. Speaking of, I heard you say the front of your house was many shoes, I would have your children go through all of the shoes, get rid of the ones they no longer wear or no longer fit into etc.... My heart really hurt listening to you! Please stop being so hard on yourself, you are only one person with way to much on your plate. It is time for your children to help out as it is their home too! God Bless You All! Much love and Prayers 🙏❤

I am so looking forward to seeing the before and after of this! Trust me, my home gets out of control at times too. Don't be embarrassed! This is the best kind of content... the after is always so amazing! Your face when you took a sniff in that bottle 😭😭🤣🤣. I know how you felt! Love your videos! Have an amazing weekend! ❤❤❤

I had a tidy home for a long time, and when I started getting overwhelmed with life, personal, jobs, marriage, financial, my house started to look like this all the time, I would clean it if I had the energy or was just so over it looking destroyed that I had to do something and I would turn around and it was like this again. I was in a deep depression for around 17 months; and I finally got the help I needed and taking care of my home, my job, my kids, and my marriage doesn't feel so overwhelming. My house is not always perfect now, it still gets crazy, but I don't feel like I'm drowning. A home is a blessing, but it should feel that way too. I feel your overwhelm and your stress in this video. hugs mama, you're doing what you can, but nobody can do it all alone.

It is not as bad as it looks. It is putting garbage in can, and dishes put in sink, and clothes taken care of as you go. The problem I see is not cleaning as you go. Which is nothing but a bad habit. Do dishes as you use them. Had a family of 8 in 900 square feet. Never had that because we cleaned and picked up after ourselves from a small age on. No dish washier, no dryer. You do it as you go. When you cook wash dishes as you go. Put all dishes you eat from or drink from in empty dish washier. NO large bowls or pans, wash them in sink. Dry put a way. Children need to help, have a clean and pick up twice a day, morning, and evening. Kids can rinse dishes place in dish washier, like glasses. no drink unless you put can in trash. Assign everyone a cup and they can rinse it and reuse it during the day. Have kids put away things as they go. You'd be surprised how it doesn't get bad with good habits. Stop letting it get that way to begin with no reason for it. Grandmother had 13 kids in a small three bedroom. Everyone cleans and helps. Beds made daily; clothes taken care of. Everyone is responsible for dishes they use.

You would probably find it easier to tidy one area in the house at a time. Only move on to another area when its finished. You are doing lots of cleaning and tiding but because no area is complete, it looks like you haven't done much. Once you see an area completely done, it will give you the motivation to finish another area.

Where your Focus goes, it grows! Stay positive and don't put yourself down, don't throw out negativity about yourself! Focus on the beautiful Mother you are!

i love how your dog just stays where you put him when you move him from cushion to pillow to puppy bed lol

The thing about teaching your kids to tidy up after themselves, and put things away , is that you are setting them up for a better future life, able to look after themselves when they go out into the big world.

When I have situation like yours today I follow the visibility rule and start with most visible spaces, it's tempting to declutter pantry or closet, but when I follow that temptation I have clean space but hidden, still when I will enter the room it will feel like nothing was done. As you I start load of loundry. Than I proceed with trash, it's quick and no decision is needed. After that stuff that has spot somewhere in the house. These two steps make huge difference. Than dishes and flat surfaces. When I have time I do quick vacuuming. Thank you for inspiration.

These comments. It's easy to talk about what should do. We are only getting a piece of what someones life looks like. Remember that. Be kind. Take it a step at a time. You can only do so much. As long as you do your best thats all that matters. I hope your husband is feeling better. It would be great if you had help. I wish you and your family the best. Enjoy your time with your family. Love the content. You look great by the way.

I’m here to reassure that what you are showing is REAL and RAW! Most content creators DO NOT show that! With that being said congratulations for keeping it real! As a momma of 7 kiddos I assure you our house gets out of wack a lot also! No matter how much I clean! I feel like I go through cycles! I’ll be so on top of the house for so long that I feel like I burn myself out then there is a period I “slack” then get overwhelmed and have to start all over again! It’s amazingly comforting when mommas share REAL overwhelming situations! I feel “Not alone”! And not so much like a failure, because the truth is, we are just busy moms and can’t do it all perfectly all the time! I subscribed! Enjoyed your content! Thank you! ❤

Wow, you're amazing! I saw plenty of comments about making your kids do more around the house. I just wanted to give you a little encouragement. You're doing great! I homeschooled my 2 boys for 17 years (one is autisic and the other one has ADHD.) Often the house suffered a bit. If I could go back in time, I would have focused more on decluttering. We just had too much stuff for me to manage, and it caused a lot of stress. If I was stressed about it, the kids definitely were reactive too. My youngest graduated last year, and I've really been focusing on getting things out of the house since then. I can feel so much stress leave the house with every car load. It's been so much easier to make myself keep up on daily cleaning. Not perfect, but better. "Dawn the Minimal Mom" and "Dana at A Slob Comes Clean," have both been so helpful to me when I'm feeling overwhelmed. Dawn is also a homeschooling mom and so calm, and Dana has ADHD and has the best declutteringmethodfor people who are easily distracted or overwhelmed. They are awesome for encouragement and motivation. Don't too hard on yourself. You are giving your kids the most important thing, your love and time. I hope your husband feels better soon.

This is my first time on here. I appreciate your honesty and your sense of humor. My family knows that coffee is essential for a peaceful home I don’t function well without it. 😂😂. You need to pace yourself. Do one small section at a time. My daughter is ADHD and that is how I taught her to clean. You will get there in time.

Oh yes. Get the kids involved. From the age of 9, i had routine chores. My mom wasnt a Nazi or anything, but I was expected to put everything back in its place. If I left my shoes or book bag in the living room, she would tell me to get it. My mom cooked, and we (kids) did the dishes.

You are not the problem, your family is.

I have 2 ADHD / ASD kids and get overwhelmed with my cleaning too... and my house is tiny in comparison to yours! My kids do simple chores and it helps SO much. Eg. Rise dishes after eating and put straight into diahwasher, pick up ALL shoes around the house and put in 1 cupboard, pick up ALL dirty clothes from around the entire house and put in laundry basket etc. Nothing too hard - but i tell you, it makes life SO much easier! I wish you luck finding a solution within your family to help your day to day cleaning routine. ❤

Part of parenting is teaching children to do regular chores to be a helpful responsible cleaning part of the family. Also, decluttering may help you all too . Wishing you better help & better times and some ...happiness, sometime.

I just found your channel- you sound really overwhelmed. Setting up a cleaning schedule and involving your kids in simple tasks like breaking down cardboard boxes might be helpful. The kids are capable of folding their own clothes and putting them away. One of my chores when I lived with my family was folding everyone’s laundry and putting it away, if your kids helped you out with that, it would take so much burden off of you. You also beat yourself up alot in this video- I felt like saying hey sis! Stop- you are doing GREAT!

I get it! I have the same problem. When i get down and my mental health is not good it takes a huge toll on me and makes simple things like taking the trash out hard to do. I can tell you that somtimes for me juat getting one thing done can help. Be kind to yourself and just do what you can and it will get better!

Midwest Magic Cleaning recommended your page. So here I am. So thankful you’re sharing your days and how life rolls. It’s helpful, super relatable. Thanks!!!❤ I raised 4 boys, all adults now and making their own homes work. We didn’t have YT or all this access to folks’ lives. But boy, it would’ve been so encouraging.

I love the way you respond to the meanies. 😂 It made me keep reading the comments! I am inspired and want to go clean something. I struggle with certain rooms, my kitchen and living area I am super focused on, but my basement and bedrooms need attention! I keep procrastinating on decluttering those areas. It’s hard to keep up and you have a lot on your plate. Cut yourself some slack! I enjoyed your content.

Thank you for posting this! It helps not to feel so alone in the struggle. I see a lot of people giving you "advice" and while I know it's supposed to be helpful, it can make us feel even worse about ourselves. My kids are more than old enough to help me, and if I ask them, they will. I even made a chore chart for all of us. But I am terrible with routine of any kind, I can't ever stick to a plan. It's just how my brain works. Everything you said in this video was so spot on, I was tearing up in some places during your video because I knew that you understood. I super appreciate this video, and everything you said. I work about 50 hours a week, so my house gets cluttered quick and it's overwhelming. I try to stay on top of it, but sometimes I'm just so tired. I hope your hubby gets answers soon about his medical issues. Sending hugs!!

You did an amazing job don’t forget that. I hope your husband is doing better!❤

honestly thank u so much for making this vid!! I have anxiety, depression, autism, osdd, AND adhd which makes it really hard for me to clean :( so much so ants are coming in room so i bought ant traps :( but this vid helped me feel less overwhelmed!! genuinely, thank u so, so much!! - for any1 reading this- just remember we love u!! and never give up!! :D have a good night/day! :3

Chores are good for children. Not to mention, you want them to know how to take care of themselves someday right? I have 4 boys and one is DD to the point he will probably live at home forever, but even he has chores. My husband doesn’t do much as he is the bread winner although if I ask of course he helps, but everything I do is a lot so having the kids pick up, keep tidy rooms, do chores helps SO much! Give it a try. Your kids will surprise you ❤ Love this video. While my home is tidy, I enjoy watching REAL cleaning. Remember you can’t pour from an empty cup.

I love your videos and your honesty! Thank you! I know it is hard. I also struggle with where to start. I get overwhelmed looking at a pile of things when I am not even sure where to put it all. I have learned my ADHD needs a timer. I give myself 15 minutes of work time and 15 break time then repeat. (Unless I by miracle feel like continuing.) Then I learned to pick one room, one corner and clean that corner. when it is done move to the next corner of the room. This helps me so much! Keep up the hard work! You are amazing!

This is what it looks like when you're living in a house. We mess it up, then we clean it up repeat , repeat. You are doing amazing! I've visited some people's home's every single item & furniture is for show, not for use, no sitting at the dinning table ,drinking from wine glasses, no flopping back on the sofa. I want kids to jump up on the sofa, make messes and then I'll clean up at some point. Just so grateful to have a home and all the material things...If you living in a house, with a family it's not gonna be perfection all ways! But I do enjoy watching Cleaning videos like this, because it's real life family.

I'm so glad I found your channel. It's nice to see that any class of people can get overloaded with a dirty home. I can relate to the kitchen issue so well. Homeschooling can be a setback to cleaning so much. Thank you for being real and showing how life can set a person back.

Beautiful home. I feel like people with newer, up to date homes can get away more with messes. My home is old and small. I cant let anything pile up or get messy.

I have been in a situation where i let my house get worse than this. It took a long time to get out of the mind set and depression i was in. I now, have been in a better state of mind and have been dealing with the depression. One thing i came to realize is, as much as i dont LIKE to clean, i don't LOVE living in a mess. I have pushed myself to work on that part a lot. Now cleaning is more of a form of relief and relaxation. Going to bed to a clean home and waking up not having to worry about "where to start" (bc its never-ending) has really helped. A while back i came across a RU-vid video, i REALLY wish i could remember who's it was, bc it made a HUGE impact on the way i do things now. This creator was cleaning her home, she had young children (it was about how you show your home to look). And she spoke of how she came to challenge herself everyday. She picked an area to work on, set a 15 minute timer. Once the timer went off she was done for that moment. She would sit and relax for 15‐20 mins. Then go back for another 15 mins. She said she didn't feel as overwhelmed bc she was stepping away from it. She chose not to work in one room for more than an hour a day, so she would not become overwhelmed again. She did this till she was able to complete her entire home. To control the mess and clutter, she now does a 15 minute clean up every night before going to bed. Whether its cleaning the kitchen or folding laundry, she sets the timer and when it goes off she stops. She says if she is unable to complete the task in that time, that is where she starts in the morning with another 15 minute challenge. I followed this routine and it has worked wonders. I have a 12 yr old son. He helps out. We each work 15 minutes on a task. Before bed we do another 15 minute challenge. If we have a family get together, we work in the area that needs it most for 15 mins and we are usually able to knock it out within that time. Which at that point he motivates me by suggesting we go ahead and do another area bc, as he puts it, "its just 15 minutes." Following this has really helped me out tremendously. Your children may be home schooled, but they are not "in school" for 12 hours. There is no reason they cant help you. When my son became of age to clean without my constant supervision, i would make a list of what all needed to be done. I would let him decide where he was going to clean. I'd tell him if he had any questions to make sure he asked bc if it wasn't done correctly he was going to have to redo the task. It took some time, but he learned. Now he knows what is expected. The only thing he hasn't chosen to do is wash dishes 😂. We dont have a dishwasher...I am the dishwasher 😂😂. Give it a try with your children. You will see how much stress it will take off your shoulders. Also, i hope your husband gets to feeling better soon.

GIRL! Give yourself some grace. You are way too negative towards yourself. My boys can make a mess like this is one day. You didn't make that mess by yourself, and you shouldn't have to clean and put it all away by yourself. Your home is beautiful. You are beautiful. Please start looking in the mirror and telling you you're important, needed and doing a great job. I need you. I don't know you but I need you so that I can be motivated to get my house cleaned as well! You're helping us. Be proud of you.

Thank you for being so honest and transparent. Thanks for letting other women know the struggle is real and we aren’t I. It alone.

Hi, just come across your channel. Please be kind to yourself; you did a great job and showed real life. You will have helped so many people by doing that. I hope your husband's health improves and he gets an answer. Not sure if you have ever seen Remi Clog; she has some great ways of cleaning and tidying when feeling overwhelmed and you don't know where to start.

You have a BEAUTIFUL house, in spite of the clutter, etc. Indecision and being distracted contributes to the chaos and feelings of being overwhelmed. Keep on keepin' on, one-moment-at-a-time. Hang in there. Focus on what you HAVE done, not on what you HAVEN'T done YET.

Cleaning is a family affair. Everyone must do their part. Kids need to be cleaning their rooms and helping you maintain the home neat. It all starts at home and teaching them to take pride in the home they live in.

I love your channel. You are so honest and transparent. You are a real inspiration. Thank you 🙏🏽 🎉

I keep hot dish water the sink. Put silverware to soak. Put the hard to scrub in there too. Much easier and dishwasher ready.

I wish I could come over and help! I have 6 kids, smallest is 18 months. My mother always thought us to wash our dish after we use it. Takes 1 minute, for a mom to do all of the dishes takes a day. I love cleaning. Sending hugs from Arizona ❤

Tip: to easily clean the pan, heat it back up with a little dish soap and water. It will clean up so easy!

When you said - I don’t like cleaning up after dinner, because I’m done with it, I just want to chill on the couch… that reminded me of a time where I was going through massive struggles and felt exactly that way… if this helps, my advice would be - address the root cause of you feeling overwhelmed, and everything else will slowly start to fall into place… slowly… with a lot of self love and self forgiveness…

This is my first time watching your VLOG. I think it's called "decision paralysis," you're so overwhelmed that you just don't know where to start, so you either don't do it, or do just what you know you can't live without, like the dishes and laundry. I do the same thing. A lot of it, for me, has to do with not knowing how to do some things, like I've always had a hard time cleaning my shower, I finally hired a cleaning company to clean my bathrooms. You're doing great, keep it up!!! Can your kids help with chores? Also, are you able to hire a cleaning company to come in once a month to just help you keep up a little? Girl, go ahead and run the half full dishwasher, there's no rule that says you can't, it's not that expensive to run the load and it'll help you at dinner time to have an empty dishwasher. I'm sorry your husband is ill. I hope the doctors figure out soon and they can get him on a road to healing quickly. I bought a pair of shoes just for inside the house to clean in, something about having your shoes on, actually helps me to be more motivated to get stuff done.

I can feel the overwhelm in your voice and I relate so much! Motherhood is such an overwhelmingly big task. Hugs! You are doing a good job and your best is enough!

New subbie here! Wow! I have really found a cleaning channel. Thanks for sharing. 👍🏾

You are an empath, that's why you post to help people. The trolls, critics, narcissists, feed off of emotion. I was prompted to comment because of what you said about your feet. Thank you for being a trusting person and a positive influence!!!!🎉😁

私は日本に住んでます。 とても広くて素敵なお家ですね。 犬達が可愛い！

You're not alone❤ I lost my mom suddenly last year & fell into depression. I need to stop slacking & get my life back on track.But, life happens..& sometimes we cant clean everyday or we just want to take the day off. Self care is important too♡ plus Im an introvert too lol. You did awesome! I usually dont watch cleaning videos with music. Because I have to keep turning volume back off after they talk but so glad I stayed ♡

Just a friendly reminder that God sees you in the mundane. He sees you when you are over worked and tired, when your killing it, or just don’t feel seen. Your doing great, keep going!

Just here to say I absolutely love your honesty about life and how our houses can get like this. And even though my kids have chores and they do them, it gets like this. It's fine. Sometimes my mental health is more important than cleaning. Some days we spend outside, as we also homeschool. It's. Fine. Thank you.

Came for the cleaning, subscribed for the comments. ❤ You sound like my inner dialogue.

I could totally relate to this video. It's nice to know you are normal and not just incapable of the constant tidy house lol Your cleaning style is very much like mine. I always feel like I'm just recleaning the same area and never really finishing one area. I aim for a "clean" home not always a "tidy" home, 5 kids, 2 large dogs, and an adult size child it's impossible to to keep it all tidy. I agree one moment of not cleaning and things get out of control fast! You are doing an amazing job. I really enjoyed watching your video 😊

Put the whole family to work, they should be picking and cleaning up for themselves, being a homemaker doesn't make you their private MAID: Really it's good for kids, these are real life skills needed once they move out!

Trust me you are not alone. I am easily overwhelmed as well and instead of even doing a little I do nothing. Trying to get better at accepting that something is better than nothing. Hang in there. 😊

I also have to agree with some of the comments about the kids helping out. The ones I've seen coming and going in this video are more than old enough to help clean up the mess that they helped create. Each one should be responsible for and held accountable for at least one chore in the main part of the house as well as keeping their own room clean. I come from a different generation, and I realize that, but I had two siblings besides myself, and we did everything to help out our mother from cleaning our rooms, changing sheets weekly, doing laundry, cleaning the bathroom that we all used, cutting the grass (and we didn't get paid to do it) the list goes on. We could not expect our mother to work a full-time job and keep a clean house with three capable children. We didn't always like it, but we also felt a sense of pride and accomplishment when it was done. I also realize this is a content video, but maybe include some content of them helping out around the house. I'm not saying hours of them cleaning, but maybe them taking out the garbage or 20 minutes of them doing the dishes. You look exhausted and overwhelmed. Having them help clean up might also have them thinking twice about not putting things away or cleaning up the mess when their done with something.

This is my first time coming across your content. I know this was a huge amount of work and hard to share, but I wanted to thank you for doing so. It was nice to see a clean with me that was so relatable. We don't all love cleaning and for many of us it can be very overwhelming. Sometimes it can be overwhelming even if it is not as much as you had. As busy women, many of us find keeping up with the house, on top of all our other roles (wife, mother, caregiver, businesswoman, cook, etc.), daunting. I just really appreciate your relatability. I clean my house because I have to, but I too get overwhelmed and I do not enjoy it. I do however try to enjoy the cleanliness afterwards for the few hours it lasts, before I have to start all over again.

Now this is a great video❤ you did so much,be proud❤

I see a lot of comments about having your kids help.. I have a feeling that you want to do it because your the MOM, They have other things going on, and/or, you want it done a certain way, since it needs to be done anyway. I am like this too, that’s why I know. But having my 15 year old do some chores and my 22 year old do some, and my husband (sometimes), does help when my house is overwhelming. Just try giving them small chores to start, and see what a difference it makes. You are doing amazing! You are a great loving wife and mama. We are on a learning journey always, together ❤ All my love and prayers..

You did it!!! YAY!! It looks amazing!!!

You are doing awesome motivating me. Tip that I use if I have a tough stuck on skillet. Put a little dawn in it and water. Place on unit bring to a boil. Let cool (don’t melt your scrub brush) make a pass our two with scrub brush and no stuck on mess or hard scrubbing needed. Thanks for inspiring!

The first thing you need to do is to calm down yourself. You making yourself go wild. I suffer with depression and anxiety is not easy but if you have older kids they can help you to clean that is what I do. If you keep up like that you will end up in the hospital.🙏🏾🙏🏾

I love this! Definitely can’t wait to see the kiddos helping you out!! I feel this and I only have 1 son, but my lil 4 year old cleans up I tell him to pick his toys up and make his bed, sometimes cleaning as you go can be a lot because kids can be a lot and mothers be tired!! For me I suffer through depression and anxiety so I get that the house can get messy sometimes, and become overwhelming.

Make a plan and let your child hold responsabilities with you like this you can found a time for yourself and you teach them to be responsable and make tasks every day

The joys of a mother. Your blessed to have a beautiful house. Your children are old enough to help you. You need to teach them to pitch in everyone lives there and can help. A great time to teach them and spend one on one time with them.

I sure hope your all find out what is going on with your husband You go so much done in your house. It is a never ending battle hang in there and God Bless

36 minutes in and I love your sense of humor about setting the house on fire and rage cleaning lol. Too many channels don't have a sense of humor. Your house is not dirty it's just not putting stuff away and I think that's why it's so overwhelming for you. Well done on getting it done!

I see your video from Iran, I want to say you good job, please want help your husband and your children to clean because that way your house not clean at all , i think every one of family should clean house ❤

Girl, I just wanna give you the biggest hug. Firstly, I am so happy I'm not the only one. This doesn't happen often for me, maybe twice but messes happen & the more mess there is the more depressed I get & the less I wanna do. I can hear your shame and please be nicer to yourself. Life happens and there is no manual for having a perfect life. This is okay. Secondly, I'm sorry were people actually time stamping your feet?! Thats insane! You are beautiful & haters suck. You did great! Keep pushing.

I see a kid in the background. Teach them to throw away their trash and pickup their clothes shoes toys etc...

Thanks for sharing! I can relate to how the house can get out of hand when life gets busy. You're doing a great Job! God Bless You!

I really hope they find a solution to help you're husband! I will pray for him🤗

Im so happy I found your channel. I to am an Autism Parent. My son will not eat food that is mixed everything has to be its own. He loves to eat meat but it can’t be a recipe or combination. He likes meat with either a vegetable or rice or no side. In our house I’m cooking 4 different meals because we all have our own tastes. But I do want to say, you are doing a great job with everything. ❤

JUST SLOW DOWN AND TAKE IT ONE ROOM AT A TIME AND IT WILL GO SMOOTHER

While watching you clean your kitchen I noticed the amount of times you go back and forth putting things away. I clean homes and learned saving steps when doing so helps accomplish things quicker...example I saw that you had a cardboard tray on your counter, next time grab that place all your spices and what ever else is small on that then go to your pantry. your garage door is down that hall correct, drop that cardboard somewhere near there as your cardboard pile. I love your kitchen ALOT. lol but your right, the kitchen is the hub of the home and once that gets out of control everything else becomes over whelming. Deep Breaths and whatever you do DONT burn yourself out. Its okay to take a break and get your kids to help out. YOU GOT THIS.

Wow you are doing so much! I’m impressed! Maybe you could lighten your load a bit with some house rules for everyone, simple systems and scheduled routines for everyone (with rewards!) and let your machines do most of the work… ex: don’t sweep… just vacuum… don’t fully wash your dishes before loading into the dishwasher… just wash your dishwasher filter weekly ( that thing you have to twist out on the bottom of the dishwasher), oh, and handle everything once as much as possible. You’re doing an amazing job with so much on your plate but I do worry about burn out. Please keep things simple and take good care of yourself! 🤗🙌🙏

Praying for you! When my kids were at home, we homeschooled and it took about 1 year before I got out of the traditional class time mindset set of schooling all day long and 5 days a week. After many trials and errors, I found a schedule and daily routines that kept all of us sane and working together to learn and keep the home together as a family. We schooled 4 days a week, 3 subjects/day an hour for each subject with one 10 minute break in the middle of each hour, at the end of each subject, the kids and I cleaned up that subjects school work and supplies and set out the next subjects needs then an hour break in between. The hour breaks had daily chores to do for me and the kids like the kids making their beds, taking out trash, sweeping the floor, dusting one room, clearing up the meal or snack dishes, etc. Our routines were- Me: getting up at 4am to exercise, shower, get dressed, face and hair done, time with God, then a load of laundry in the washer and starting breakfast by 6:30 and getting the kids up. The kids: up at 7 am, breakfast, kitchen clean up, brushing teeth and getting dressed, bed making, devotional; then at 9am was first subject, 10:10-11- chores like helping to get lunch started or sweeping or dusting, 11-12:10 second subject, 12:15-1pm lunch and clean up and just chilling, 1-2:10 third subject, 2:15-3 more chores or homework, 3-5- free time, at 5 one child helped me get dinner going, another set the table and another fed the animals, 6 was dinner, 6:30 was kitchen clean up, the from 7-7:30 was free play, then baths/showers, then clean up of any toys or books or crafts, 8-9 was devotional, movie or reading and bedtime was 9pm for the kids and 9:30 was my and my husbands bedtime. Our days off from school was a big clean day, field trips, fun time, etc plus always helping with meals, clean up, etc. Each school day was different subjects, Mondays were Math, Science, Art; Tuesdays were English, History, Writing; Wednesdays were Government, Literature, Music; Thursday was Math, English, World History. The routine sounds rigid, but we actually had more time for a lot of things during the day besides school and cleaning, like baking, gardening, going swimming or skiing or ice skating or playing g basketball, soccer, team sports, music ensemble, and just curling up with a book and listening to music. All this because we all participated in keeping our home tidy and with the kids help it went faster, plus, my kids lov d the security in the routines and school schedule. We also homeschooled 6 weeks on and 1-2 weeks off all year round. Remember, we are to raise our children in the way they should go, not just in their faith, but every day living which includes cooking, cleaning, finances, etc so they can leave the home with confidence that they know what to expect and do when in their own home. so all this to say, get your kids involved in keeping their home tidy and clean and your mental and physical health will get a much needed break.

Hello, this is my first time finding and watching you. Im so sorry your husband doesn't feel well. Has he seen a GI doctor yet. All illnesses start in the gut. I was sick for 4 months and went to every specialist out there and finally went to GI doctor and found out my gut and microbiome was a mess. On top of that, i had hpylori. Once i even began to fix my gut, i felt so much better. This is just a suggestion. I hope, no, i pray that your husband feels better ASAP. Much ❤

Hi sweetie I just found your channel and this is my first video. I just want you to know that you are doing your best considering what’s happening in your life. You are so hard on yourself and that worries me. Believe me when I tell you that most of us find our houses like that if we don’t clean in a few days. You are going through a lot with your husbands health so it’s probably taking a toll on your well being and it reflects on your house. I am sorry that people are harsh in the comments instead of motivating you. Your mess is normal for the busy life you are living. Take care of yourself you are doing your best and that’s good enough. I appreciate how real this channel is.❤️

Thank you for sharing! You're not alone

Your not lazy. When I lost my first mobile home, I realized I should have been thankful for what I had. To show ur thankful for what u have, treat it like that. Just my opinion. No hate ❤❤❤❤

Girl, you described how I feel about the state of my home right now!!! I'm glad I'm not alone in feeling this way.. :(

I am a mother of four adult children and grandmother of five. I made every one of my children help me clean the house and as they got older the tasks increased. Each one of them are amazing adults and they all are highly organized and clean with their houses and cars. It sometimes seems to be more of a hassle to train them while they are young but it will pay rich dividends. Thank you for the videos 🙂
