Why does the media portray working moms, always, as having guilt?

Your sinks don't get spots? Your stainless doesnt show any little handprints? Nothing?
Your beds make themselves? Laundry does itself? Wow. Amazing.
If you don't clean between -- that's great. Must make life easier. But messier than I could stand.
What part of "straighten, pick-up, etc" did you not read?
The dishes are done every night after dinner, and the counters wiped down. Breakfast dishes are either put in the dishwasher or stacked beside the sink, depending upon time constraints. The table is wiped down after meals.
The house is generally picked up on an on-going basis.
The sinks are rinsed out rgularly (I said this in another post).
Any spills are either mopped, swept or wiped up when they're made.
None of that is "cleaning". It's just straightening, picking up, etc. And making beds and doing laundry isn't cleaning either.
But we don't do the same type of cleaning the service does. If we did, then why would we hire the service? The point of the service is so we don't have to scrub toilets, vacuum floors, mop floors, wash windows and baseboards, scrub tubs and showers ...
I don't have stainless anything btw.
Well, real change sometimes takes awhile. But when the change has occurred, it's occurred. Do your kids always get everything right the first time?
There's nothing "passive aggressive" whatsoever about our house rules. Passive aggressive would be throwing the stuff out without telling them. The kids know exactly what will happen if they don't care enough to take care of their stuff.

Wow that was pleasant. Nice.
Well, it certainly appeared you didn't read it, since I clearly said we straigten and pick up ... and then you proceeded to ask me if we ever picked things up.
And like your implication that we're total slobs and leave dishes for two weeks and live in a way that would gross you out was OH SO NICE!
give me a freakin' break.
