my mum never has one little thing out fo place inher house!
DF's mum vaccums her double story EVERY day!
DF and I are the laziest sods ever! pmsl, so not sure if being a neat freak is a genetic thing!
I try to do a min of 15 mins a day of solid housework(you'll be suprised how much u can get done!)somethings i do everyday that arent included in that 15mins
i make the bed every morning when i get up and pick up the clothes off the floor and in the ensuite
i aim for atleast one load of washing everyday and to pack the dishwasher everyday so theres no dishes on the bench (yes im one of those who puts literally anything that will fit into the dishwasher in!) and i have 3 rabbit hutches to tackle every 2 days

once the kids are in bed then i hit the lounge up and clean up all their toys and things.
on saturdays DF and i tackle it together and do the big things, cleaning showers,toilets, mopping ect

you;ll be suprised how good u feel even just having a tidy house as apposed to a clean one, it all depends on what ur happy to leave!

i'd much rather be playing with my kids than doing something im just going to need to do again tomorrow anyway!(plus we dont often get visitors so its not essential for me to keep a tidy house!)
