Do you keep your room tidy? email this discussion to a friend?

Hi everyone, i hate my room being messy...i want it clean and everything has to be in proper place, not just my room but the house. With my little neices and nephew around the house i have to do it again and again. Like my mom, i like it when the house is clean, specially my very own room...we don't have maids to do it for us and we are taught to do it.We don't have a very big house, just enough for all of us so each of us takes part in cleaning the house.
How about you guys? do you clean it yourself or have someone to do it for you? or don't care about it at all...lol Happy postings all!!!

I hate to see my house specially my room that is in mess. That's why sometimes I feel stress when my kids leave their things in organized, we only have one room we stay all there that's why I thought them how to be organized on their things so that I will not get mad on them.


myLot reputation of 99/100. mycharm88 (753)   ranked 2 out of 215 in cleaning up  2 years ago

I think you are doing the right thing dear, need to train kids to organize things while they're young...You're a great mom!

oh,shame to say that my room's messy like you said.not only i mess it up but also my parents put many things in my room,like shoes,closet,and other things.but they are in line,stay where they are.
the only reason why my room is messy is that i have many books and i put it in everywhere of my desk.and i don't have many time to clean it up,you know when at school or working.i guess i will clean it when i get enough time,and i did clean the floor of the hall when i get time.
but i'm kinda lazy so i will the speed of cleaning is slower than it of messing.
but i believe it will be clean this year not very far cuz i am about to quit and i have bunches of hour to do it.
clean it all make the room bigger.then i will feel very happy with the achievement.


myLot reputation of 99/100. mycharm88 (753)   ranked 2 out of 215 in cleaning up  2 years ago

My room will be messy if my nephew and neices are around.lol Funny how they run around, sometimes would get to my nerve but i'm also trying to teach them to return things after using, but you kids..hahah Let me know your achievement my friend and i'll be the first to congratulate you. Don't worry, we all do get lazy sometimes.haha tc


myLot reputation of 95/100. kuer86 (1168)   ranked 9 out of 215 in cleaning up  2 years ago

I do like my room to be tidy but i dun like to be the one tidying it.. LOL=P So most of the times, my mom will only sweep or mop the floor while i have to clean off the dust on the desk and books.. hehe.. Organizing of things, i will only do it when it became too much for me to store.. LOL


myLot reputation of 99/100. mycharm88 (753)   ranked 2 out of 215 in cleaning up  2 years ago

You're lucky your mom could do it for you and it's good that you're helping her at least. me? i don't let my mom do it because i'm old enough to do it.lol and besides she has more to do than cleaning my room... tc my friend


myLot reputation of 97/100. kun2349 (7276)   ranked 7 out of 215 in cleaning up  2 years ago

hehe.. BUt i do do sweeping and mopping of floor for the whole house once in a while:) Maybe like 3 times a year?? LOL

I like a clean room too....but I can't say the same for when I was younger. Doesn't mean that it was as messy as the picture...but well it wasn't very well organized all the time. I usually did it over the weekend. But it was pretty much okay...I didn't have things on the floor and I made my bed everyday.
But after marriage, I've become a cleanliness freak (God alone knows how and my parents are surprised). Now I am the bad witch with hubby and son..lol
I've also noticed that putting things in place takes a backseat for around 2 years after I have a child because I don't have enough time. Besides that period of time, I keep a very very clean house all the time....even if I have to sleep late or get up at 4 am to do it!
Though I grew up having to do everything ourself, I have a maid who now comes in to sweep and mop and clean the dishes and bathroom. But I do the rest of the other stuff....all the detail cleaning (which has taken a backseat now that I have a one year old).

Wow
Wow Wow

at childhood age i was in Public holoiday
till then i keep things tidy and clean
and have bit disciplined life

and why i see u like a typical indian housewife

take care


myLot reputation of 91/100. SViswan (4201)   ranked 6 out of 215 in cleaning up  2 years ago

lol...cupid...I'm very very far from a typical indian housewife.
I don't think I can ever be one either.
But it's interesting that you have that kind of a picture of me from my post....hmmm....now I have to be careful what I post..lol


myLot reputation of 99/100. mycharm88 (753)   ranked 2 out of 215 in cleaning up  2 years ago

Oh, i don't really know what a typical indian wife is but the way i see it i think i'll have to agree with our friend cupid here... You are like my mom, except sleeping late heheh but she does wake up very early and clean things around the house and if my time for work is late then i would be gald to help her. I guess it's just the two of us who cares about keeping the house clean and in order. I think you're a great mom dear c",) tc


myLot reputation of 87/100. cupid74 (4632)   ranked 4 out of 215 in cleaning up  2 years ago

hi sviswan
well what ever u said it potrays that u r nice and hardworkking house mom
care about cleanliness, hygiene, food etc


so its ok


myLot reputation of 91/100. SViswan (4201)   ranked 6 out of 215 in cleaning up  2 years ago

Well, thank you for the compliments mycharm and cupid.
A typical Indian housewife is up at the crack of dawn....showers...does her prayers and starts work in the kitchen and everything that needs to be done at home and pampers the rest of the family members and remains calm all throughout:)


myLot reputation of 99/100. mycharm88 (753)   ranked 2 out of 215 in cleaning up  2 years ago

Sounds a really sweet mom to me..c",) keep it up dear!


myLot reputation of 91/100. SViswan (4201)   ranked 6 out of 215 in cleaning up  2 years ago

lol..thanks for the BR...but I doubt my son would call me sweet:)


myLot reputation of 99/100. mycharm88 (753)   ranked 2 out of 215 in cleaning up  2 years ago

Your welcome dear... but why not?


myLot reputation of 91/100. SViswan (4201)   ranked 6 out of 215 in cleaning up  2 years ago

Well, I'm sure he would tell everyone else (except me) that I am sweet.
As a mother, I have to be firm about certain things and am a monster sometimes....we have different names for the monsters that I turn into based on what I need to get done....sometimes it is the 'Cleanliness Monster"...at others it might be the 'Homework monster'...lol
Most of the times I am a fun mom...but when he pushes my buttons, I'm not a sweet mom anymore.
Anyways, I was kidding....the whole school knows how my son dotes on me...and I repeatedly ask him why he thinks I'm a great mom when I scold him often (compared to his dad...who he has a respect for and doesn't tell him all his secrets).

I like things to be presentable but I am not ruled by my house. I have to admit the bedroom is the one that collects the most clutter as it serves as a computer room too and there are three different people using the room at various times of the day. I have splurges when I like to see things just so but we get so caught up in what we are doing that things seem to appear from virtually nowhere. Oh well, there's always another day to tidy up so I will just ignore the mess and sort it out tomorrow.

hi mycharm!^__^

i also hate it when my room is messy, and so as our house. but i'm too lazy to do the cleaning. LOL i only sweep the floor of my room everytime i'm home. i seldom do general cleaning.^__^;; i think i only do general cleaning of my room when there's special occasions like Christmas or new year. my mother usually pay for a general cleaning of our house.

before i used to patiently clean our house but i got so tired and pissed of my lazy sisters and nephew and nieces so i decided to ignore them and let them clean their own mess whenever they want. i seldom do the dishes anymore too. i only wash my own dishes. i let them do their own.


myLot reputation of 99/100. mycharm88 (753)   ranked 2 out of 215 in cleaning up  2 years ago

Lol! oh, hello dear c",) i do get lazy sometimes too but i just can't stand watching all the mess. I too have 3 sisters in the house but seems like i'm the only one who cares plus double work when my nephew and neices visits the house (they're living near the house) so almost everyday... Well, i think i got this from my mom...hahah thanks for sharing that dear c",)
