What
is Clean Enough? Deciding How Much Housework is EnoughI once read this quotation that said:
"A clean house is the sign of a
boring person."
And I think that's true. For a home to
be clean all the time requires two things: people who have few hobbies
to mess it up, and someone else whose hobby is cleaning. Both of those
things are signs that someone needs to get a life!
At the same time, a certain level of
cleanliness is necessary in all homes. No one wants to fear catching a
communicable disease upon entering a bathroom. When my oldest daughter
was almost a year old, and teething, I found her in the bathroom. She
had managed to lift up the lid, and was enthusiastically gumming the
toilet rim.
Naturally, I freaked. And cleaned
everything in sight.
But no one's toilet will ever be clean
enough for a child to lick.
And that's the point. Nothing is ever
truly clean enough when your kids are little. You just finish vacuuming
and find out that a toddler has been following you while eating
crackers. And is laundry ever all done? Nope.Read rest of article | | | | | | |  | |  |
