    I used to be really good with my housework, even better when i was nesting! Then DD came along and i just fell behind but now my routines are:

    Daily:

    Dishes
    Wipe down benches, stove and sink
    Washing, fold and put away clean washing.
    Tidy up loungeroom, DD's room and front area (she usually trashes them throughout the day so i go around after her cleaning up)
    Vacuum & mop every 2nd day
    Empty bin and clean bin

    Weekly:

    Full house vacuum & mop
    Clean bathroom and toilet
    Wash sheets and air out pillows

    Monthly to 6 monthly:

    Wipe down walls, skirting boards
    Clean shower top to bottom
    Get carpets cleaned (this hasnt started so its a thing to start doing)
    Spring clean the house and garage get rid of junk we dont need or use (this is probably a yearly thing)

    I could be better and not all the time i follow this routine.. if im sick of DD is sick then i dont.

    What stands out from reading this post is none of you mention what your DP/H does. Please, please, please tell me he does his fair share of housework!! After all, it's not the 1950s!!!!

    DP is in charge of keeping his computer room clean, mowing the lawns. He does the vacuuming when i ask and cleans the oven. But because he is at work more than me i do everything else when im home.
