“You know what's normal? Having a place in your house where clean laundry piles up and you frantically search through it in the morning to find clothes for the day for you or your kids.”
with a marker they found under the couch. But I would love to see a little more reality on my social media feed.
For most parents, our houses are homes with kids that constantly make messes, and there is never enough time or energy to clean it all up. It seems no matter how many times a day I pick up, my house looks like I am raising a pack of Tasmanian devils. There are piles of laundry in the most random places, toys scattered across the living room floor, and a constant trail of shoes and socks all over the house.
We have become so accustomed to people’s curated feeds that many of us, even if it is subconscious, believe that is an expectation we should live up to. But I want to see the moms that aren’t afraid to show their messy houses on my social media feed. The ones that buck the trend of presenting the picture of perfection and offer a snippet of their messy life as itA post shared by Elisha Wilson Beach I know there are moms out there that take great pride in keeping their home spotless.
As a mom of four kids, I find it impossible to keep my house clean and organized 24/7. To be honest, it’s a mess the majority of the time. And yes, my little Tasmanian devils have chores, and I require them to help clean the messes they make, yet there is always a mess somewhere in my house. And I have come to accept this as my norm. The reality is I just can’t keep up with my job, my kids, being a wife, exercising, keeping a clean house, and actually having a life of my own.
And I refuse to feel bad about it. And, frankly, I don’t want any mom looking at another picture-perfect home on her social media feed and thinking she is less than simply because she doesn’t live up to that perceived reality. So, can we just all band together and start to normalize what a regular, everyday, messy house looks like.
