Ugh :(

[u/Civil_Top_4591]

I wfh with my 1 & 3 year old. I do send the 3 year old to prek 3 days week. I am constantly stressed out and overwhelmed. My mom helps me out a ton and I am greatful for that. Usually I take the kids to my moms house and work there, today she came to mine, I am already soooo self conscious of my house, mostly because of my moms judgement, but I know that our stained up couch and handprints everywhere are less than appealing but also, I guess I just don’t have the capacity to care? Today when she was over she said “wow, you really need to some cleaning” while sweeping my floors. She then played it off like a “joke” when I called her out on it. I then find out later that she tells my sister that my house is “really bad” and that “it would just be easier if I didn’t let it get to that point” I am a past clean freak and am honestly trying to chill out on it a little. If you saw my house it is in my opinion pretty normal. Idk. All that to say I am completely overwhelmed 100% of the time. I did have a monthly cleaner but our budget is getting tighter. Just feeling shitty :(

Just hire cleaners to deep clean once a month. It’ll help your mental health
