i deleted my post- because I thought I wrote too much.
I just really relate with the idea of "keeping the home clean" but yet, never is it kept clean.
whether it be subconscious, or in worse case the thought of "my job"/"reflection" because I am female, or me feeling better when it is clean--- whatever it is, sometimes it seems futile, other times i just tackle it, other times i am like "i give up!".. learning also my "opinion on clean is my opinion"; my S/O has a different opinion of what clean is
Many Kudos to you Neptune though-- because I can't imagine mom's and dad's that have kids and trying to keep their place clean

I have no kids, so many kudos to you for trying your best with it all (and all parents)
I made a comment with agreeing with Museum ghost that she mentioned here, with some people that keep a really clean place aren't that happy or they are rather judgmental and opinionated

My mom would fit that and when I got older her place was spotless... I often times wondered after I got older, if she had a touch of OCD
(Or it could be part of the whole control personality she had) because if I were to clean something, it was never good enough and she would go and re-clean what I had just cleaned-- which at the time never came across as her problem but more of "I can't do anything right".
Any who --
Laundry is a chore that is never done unless you are spending a free spirit naked day

because even if you get everything washed, you have laundry on you and your s/o's and kids
be well all,
