Do you think it's a generational thing? I never remember my mum letting our house get messy, and she worked 14 hour days, 6 days a week. How did she do it??

My side of the bedroom is a disaster! I have a pile of clothes that comes up to my hip... I clean it twice a year (when we have big parties at our house and I can't guarantee the bedroom door will stay closed). Don't even ask about our ensuite...
