Constantly cleaning

Does anyone ever feel like they're constantly cleaning? I'm pregnant with my 3rd and feel like I'm constantly cleaning stuff 😫 I'll get my kitchen clean, then move to the living room while I got laundry going just for my boys to mess up another room In the house. Does anyone have a cleaning schedule or something that helps them? Hubby's out west for work, back tomorrow evening for 10 days before leaving again so I'll be able to catch up while he's here, but just feel like there's no way to stay on top of it with this pregnancy. Any tips is appreciated

I gave up on the cleaning on the dot. It's exhausting. And i only have 1 kiddo. 10 months.

I leave my cleaning caddy always around and let's say we're hanging out in the bathroom (he loves just touching things) I clean that .. and so on .. but my kitchen i like it clean so every night i tidy up and the floor so robots can vacuum and mop

it is never ending i find setting a time cleaning times in the day helps, like no more cleaning after 12 noon so i get all my cleaning done in the morning and probably just a 45 minute reset after bedtime of toys away and dishes

Same I’m cleaning & cooking all day nonstop to the point I have to get out the house on a stroll just to manage the stress. I just decided I will make a cleaning schedule to help me out and try to mop my floor or use the swifter everyday to help with the mess honestly & by the end of the day I am so exhausted & can barely sleep 😴

I have Roborock that just runs at night once everyone goes to bed. Safe to say it’s been working really hard

You're SOO lucky!

Is anyone else sick of being told their husband/partner is amazing and aren't you so lucky he does so much to help you with the baby. Yes he helps raise his child. Does he do anywhere near as much as me, no way. I breastfed for 7 months, I took a year off my job and so have lost money, affected my pension, literally get up every night for a year with this baby. Does he get asked the same thing about me. I don't think so. If anything it's like a negative on me as a mum that I'm getting SO much help. I might lose it at the next person to say this to me.

3 year old wants a PHONE

Help! My daughter sees her 5 year old cousin on her phone(yes my brother got his 5 year old a real phone) and has been constantly asking my husband and I if she could have a 'real' phone. We have given her pretend ones that light up and make sounds and she recognizes its not a real working phone and asks for a real one. I didn't think I would be having this argument at 3. I didnt think she would ask for a phone until middle school. Idk what I was thinking. Any ideas on how to convince her she doesnt need one? I tried telling her things like "it will hurt your brain and eyes" "your eyes dont like it" and I redirect her to books, toys, slime, playdoh literally anything besides a phone. Any suggestions on how to deter her from wanting one?

do you and your SO connect (emotionally or physically) regularly?

I crave intimacy, but my partner comes home very tired. He plays a little with our baby before his bath, then eats, showers and then he plays on his phone, or watch reels. I told him yesterday that the time he spends on his phone we could do something together, ANYTHING, since we don't have couple time, only parent. He seemed annoyed and told me literally "that's life, we can't connect everyday". I guess he does have a point, but I feel so not appreciated and loved :(
Just wanted to know if I'm alone in this

CHIA SEEDS

Hi moms 😊 How do you usually prepare chia seeds before eating them, for both yourselves and your little ones? Do you wash them first and then soak, just soak them, or eat them as they are? What works best for you?

Need advice

Me and my man live together. We have a system that works for us. He cooks and does the food shopping. We alternate dropping and picking the kids up. I do most of the cleaning but he cleans the bathroom stove and refrigerator. I make sure the dishes are washed and the clothes are cleaned daily. But this man will come home and make a bigger mess. When he cooks he wont clean up after himself. Examples yesterday I wasn't home. He was here all day by himself tell me why my house looks like a pig pens and when I say something he wants to get upset. If this was his parents house he would make sure him & who ever else was there was cleaning so why not do it where he actually lays his head. I cant stand men sometimes.

Sorry if my rant is all over the place. I just needed to space to let it out.

Toddler wont eat

My 3 year old toddler hasn’t been eating properly for the past 2 months. It’s emotionally draining me out. She refuses breakfast, lunch and dinner. She would tell me she wants to eat certain things, so i’d make it only for her to refuse it. I dread waking up every morning as i know it will take me an hour where id make different things for her to eat only for her to refuse it again. She’d tell me she wants boiled eggs, id make it, for her to have a bite and throw it away. Same with bread and cereal etc. She won’t even let me put it in her mouth to know if she’d like something or not
