If I were living by myself... I'd be very neat and organized. Since I have a toddler, a teenager and my partner - it is utterly impossible. The more I try to clean and organize, the more impossible it is. Example - I have neat little bins for all my toddlers toys and when I clean them up everything is nice and organized. If my fiancée does it - everything is thrown in the corner behind the couch. Drives me absolutely insane. If you can't clean up right, don't bother at all. It makes more work for me having to fix it then it does for you to just let me do it right the first time. If I let it get to me then we end up fighting about it. I don't want to fight about it so I just don't bother cleaning as much as I should. Some people think I'm being lazy or messy, but its really because I'm seething with rage underneath if I have to re-clean and organize a mess that's supposedly already been cleaned up.
