this has probably been discussed before but I got myself in a bit of a state over this...
well my house is clean every morning for children to arrive.
that changes very quickly as we go in and out (and although we take off shoes hall entrance still gets muddy for example)
we use plates/cups etc for snacks and I prepare lunch/dinner (my dishwasher is broken at the moment so I need to wash by hand but dont want to do too much while kids are here)
I do a bit of tidying up throughout the day but obviously no big cleaning as I am working and we are doing things or going out.
but the effect is that the house doesnt look too great anymore come the evening.
How do you balance the need for a clean/hygienic environment with the need for the kids to play and have a good day.
what cleaning do you do while children are there?
or do you just leave it all and wait till there gone.
