Like climbing a mountain

Keeping the home clean is a huge job. It feels like I am faced with an impossible task at the moment. I know I will win but I would like some help.

All it takes is me not being around for a short time and the mess piles up before I know it and when I get home I have got another big job to do. I got home today after being at my photography club for a few hours when I saw the mess in the living room and the kitchen. My partner had not done much to help me while I was out. I made sure I did as much as I could before I went out. When I got back there was stuff on the sides in the kitchen, the bath was not even emptied and he had not even picked up the towels that the wee ones had used.

I know that I will be working for a few hours to get the living room and the kitchen looking nice again.

I just feel so frustrated. I did not want to have to tell my partner to help me out. He uses the home so he should do it without being asked. I had just hoped that he would have enjoyed being in a clean home enough to want to help me maintain it. It is great that he makes the dinner and he washes dishes, I just wish that he would pick up after himself. He is just making my job so much more difficult. It is really beginning to get me down as well.

It has not helped that the job that I have got to do in our bedroom is a monster job.

May the force be with me.
