What level of clean is an appropriate expectation for a SAHM?

I mean as long as it’s not safety hazard . It just depend cause everyone’s idea of cleanliness is different. I don’t like clutter. I have a small apartment it’s not huge but I make sure everything has a place. It just depends on the day. Sometimes I splurge and some days I don’t do anything . Cause all though we are stay at home moms, it can be mentally draining

I am a stay at home mum, not a housemaid. My priority is my daughter and any cleaning that I get to do is a bonus.

It really depends tbh. I’m a SAHM to one child who is 15 months. She has 2 naps a day but that doesn’t actually give me any childfree time as she contact naps.
Also, each day is different. Some days I’m able to do all the dishes, clean the kitchen and bathroom and do laundry. Some days I’m barely able to even make myself a cup of tea.

My priority is, and always will be, my daughter and her wellbeing and enjoyment. Everything else can wait until she goes to bed at night or the following day.

My partner has zero expectations of me to do the housework throughout the day. If it gets done, brilliant. If not, we tag team it in the evening or when our daughter’s in bed.

I think it varies based on where baby is developmentally. First six months was an adjustment I was cooking breakfast for myself and lunch prep, husband sorted through dishes when he was home and we swept weekly. Laundry was done as needed through the week to keep from piling up.

At 2.5 I have way more flexibility to maintain sweeping daily, mop weekly, dishes every day or other day (still with help) and cleanup after cooking to keep things mostly clean and refreshed. Laundry 1-2x a week to avoid a weekend need instead of having family time.

Priority one is baby, beyond that I want him to see a mostly clean home so it encourages him in helping pick up his things when we need him to put toys up. Every day I'll spend at least thirty minutes doing something before his nap and after his nap. In that time I can typically get enough done that we can relax together after he's down for the night which is great.

Husband still minds trash, yard, cats, bathrooms, and deep clean needs and I step in where I'm able.

My house is clean, not tidy.

Toy pick up happens at nap time and when they go to bed at night.

My surfaces are clean and my floor is but there’s no denying there’s 4 people living in the house.

My LO sleeps about the same and honestly somedays the house is a wreck and I go to bed with dirty dishes and other days it’s spotless. My number one priority is my daughter. Long as no one has gone hungry and we all went to bed clean it’s a successful day.

My house is pretty clean, I am a homeschooling mom, so I take of their stuff first and then I take care of what I can around the house while I'm pregnant. My husband is a clean freak so what I consider clean is not clean to him, but majority of people tell me our house always looks clean

I tend to focus on kitchen first because it’s most important to me that dishes and food prep areas are clean and ready for cooking food, which I do like 3x per day. so if I did not keep up on dishes it would be catastrophic lol. Some days that’s all I get done, some days I get more done. It just depends. But kitchen is always my #1 priority.

But also my toddler doesn’t nap anymore and I limit screen time and try to stay engaged so it can definitely feel difficult to get any extra cleaning done. My husband helps though when he’s off.

i wld say tidy dishes &laundry but my hubby absolutely expects and insists on our house being spotless at all time so ofc i have to do so😂

I dont like germs ,or clutter or mess so if its not a show home its not clean. Even more so im worse while pregnant its so draining but I cannot help it .

But in all honesty if you can see your floors and counter tops , beds are made you're doing good, and a brush up in-between so no food or anything harmful is in a kids mouth
