My home decor screams "I GIVE UP". I am overwhelmed by keeping house working full time and having three small children at home. It's too much to manage. I just try to ignore it and block it out as best I can when I am too exhausted to do anything about it. (paper bag on head) It's just too much to keep a show piece picking up after 5 people and nagging them to do their fair share exhausts me to pieces. I still nag them but I find it very draining.

Seems wise to tailor your surrounding to suit your feelings.
