As frustrating as it is when they play up it means your kids feel comfortable around you enough to be themselves. It shows they feel loved. It’s just impossible to keep the house tidy when it comes to having kids. Maybe just aim to keep one or two rooms tidy for your sanity and sort the rest whenever you get chance. Hope you manage to have some you time when you’re husbands back!! X

Whenever my mum felt like this, she just stopped cleaning and when we asked her why the house was such a mess, she said this is what happens when you don’t tidy up after yourself. We soon started to attempt helping to tidy up.
Could you offer pocket money for chores? This is the only time I give my child money (she’ll be 7 soon) xx
