Hey, don't apologize for hating housework.  I am the world's worst housekeeper. Fortunately, I can afford a maid (is there a more politically correct term for that? Maid sounds so ... um ... servile or something).  Anyway, whatever she is, I NEED her, so I can totally understand. You for sure have my sympathy.  How old are your kids?  If they're beyond toddler, then they can get up off their butts and help you.

hey i go with out of alot of things to afford mine like not going out to eat that alone should pay for 2 weeks of house keeping and my food bill is less with two gastric pts in house lol I love blanca she knows all my dirty litle secrets lol and i pay her well to keep quiet lol

Hey, I don't have any kids and I still can't manage to have a perfect house! Husband, dog, and 4 cats keep it pretty messy despite my efforts. And I agree about the front-loader washer-mine gets smelly, too! It's that stupid rubber seal. If you peel it back and see what's in there you will probably die-it gets slime and stuff in it. Once I realized that, I started cleaning it with bleach, but it's a total pain, especially since they were very expensive appliances!

I think the filter is a man reason why it smells so bad  hmmm never thought of the rubber seal could also be the  cause will check that out ty of couse they never mention front loaders have a nasty smell and the laundry smells so bad .. oh the cats oh man they r a mess.

once again thanks foe the tip

Oh Lisa I can sympathize with you when it comes to housework. I wish I could afford a housekeeper but that's just not possible yet. Maybe someday. Having 9 kids, 7 cats, 1 dog and 1 bunny it gets pretty crazy around here. Recently, I had 3 of my children who live away, my daughter-n-law and grandson along with a friend of the family and her two kids come and spend the week with me. We had a houseful and the laundry was never ending.

Here's what I do..... I try to keep the main floor (kitchen, family room, living rm & dining room) picked up and company ready. If you have a clean kitchen and a clean bathroom then don't worry about anything else. The bedrooms upstairs and the basement are usually always messy.... I try to keep them semi clean but at least the main part of the house looks ok and I won't freak out if company drops in on me as long as those rooms are picked up and tidey.

I do 3 loads of laundry a day. First load is started in the morning.... 2nd load lunch time and 3rd load dinner time. I have a hamper for each kid. I pull the laundry out of the dryer and just put their clothes in their hamper. They are responsible for getting their hamper and folding & putting away their clothes. I fold mine & my hubby's clothes and all the linens and put them away. And if your laundry is really behind make a trip to the laundry mat where you can knock out all your laundry in one day and be all caught up. It's worth the money.

My house is far from spotless but it's picked up and the bathrooms are clean and usually the kitchen too.... for me that's all that matters and it's about all I can keep up with. Someday when the kids are all grown and out of the house I can have a spotless house... but until then we have a semi-clean lived-in look that works for us.

Hang in there Lisa.... sounds like you have your handsfull. Do what you can and don't sweat the small stuff. Above all make sure you take care of yourself. When I get into that pig-out mode I try to make sure I have some healthy choices on hand and fill up on those instead of all junk. I still eat some of the junk but it's not a lot because I stuffed myself with nuts, fruits, veggies and cheese sticks. And drink lots of tea!

Hugs!
