I'm having a moment because I just wanted to go to church today but couldn't because the way my son's first morning nap fell so couldn't get us ready in time. I managed to shower whilst he was asleep and now I'm just sat on the side of my bed in my towel crying and looking at the clothes on the floor on the bedside, clothes on the floor in front of the bed and then some more in the sitting room. I used to be such a clean organised freak and I get your house can't be perfect with a baby but does it ever get better because this mess is unbearable. A clean house helps me to have an organised mind. I knew having a baby would be hard but this is just A LOT.

I’m the kind of person who cannot cope with a messy / dirty house, literally makes me depressed. And it took me a while to get into a good routine of balancing everything and eventually I did - I’m 13 months pp now. My 2 absolutely non negotiatables are: everything (and I mean everything) gets put away before I go to bed, kitchen clean and all. Waking up to a tidy space makes all the difference. The second one is once a week I do a deep clean in the whole house, takes me about 2-3 hours and literally makes my days so much better!
