ANOTHER Clean With Me, WHY Am I Like This?

I am no allowing myself to get to full nightmare stuck in the couch unable to function levels. I am going to get up and clean my darn house! Come along and clean with me or just sit back and relax while I do all the heavy lifting, you probably deserve a rest anyway.

Zucchinis, mushrooms as eggplants have a lot of moisture in them. Cut them up place on a paper towel sprinkle a little salt and watch the water pearl, then just pat dry. They don't need a lot of cooking time, just a little oil is fine (high heat). Another option try baking them either way works. Take it one day at a time, one thing or room at a time. Keep inspiring us to go on. Great Job.🥰

Thank you so much for those tips babe!! I really appreciate it

[@hollyjohns1377]

I love your videos as they are so relatable to me. I was recently diagnosed with ADHD. I have done some research and found that making myself a daily, weekly, and monthly cleaning schedule helps me stay on track. Plus, I feel great when I check off a task I've completed.

I do have ADHD, I understand your struggle. The best advice I ever heard was “don’t put it down, put it away”. I probably say that to myself a million times a day if I’m feeling motivated, other days, nothing gets done.

Could you have the girls be responsible for one room plus their bedroom everyday? Just picking up is half the battle.

[@MaritaCovarrubias01]

You should really challenge yourself to just lightly rinse/wipe your dishes before putting them in the dishwasher. Having the dishes done really sets the tone for the rest of the house. When you put off doing the dishes because you need to wash them first, it tends to spiral. I’m speaking from experience. I struggle with perfectionism myself.

[@prayerseabelo9073]

Yes. Perfection paralysis is a thing. I struggle with it too. 😥😥. Another thing that works for me too is sweeping the floor first. Seeing it slightly clean helps me envision what next to clean.

[@rali6511]

Sometimes I feel overwhelmed by the housework also. So I set myself a goal to clean the entire kitchen, for instance, and set myself a reward - watching a video in KZbin or playing my favourite game on the phone. Sometimes my goal is just to beat the clock and finish before the time set. I think that you should accept the cleaning as a neverending game we are playing. Whan I was bored from the cleaning and was negative, as you told, my brain was aware what I have to do but my body was denying to do it. Also I try to mantain the house not to clean constantly and try to clean as I go and never leave the room empty handed. Sometimes I have succes but sometimes not. I wish you to think and put yourself first and do what works for you. You are doing an amazing job! Greetings from Bulgaria! 😗

[@corinnedavis3050]

I can't imagine cleaning one single room at a time... I move room to room and as long as I finish a task in one room and don't leave it messier than I started, than it is just fine to move on and do something else. Moving forward is success! Although I don't get fully washing your dishes before the dishwasher, I see dishes being done in a way that makes you happy is way better than not doing dishes at all. Keep going!

[@nancyworsley5057]

Don't take meds for ADHD. To many side effects of just not feeling great. As far as cleaning...it all comes together in the end. I work from one room to the next. But a wave of misplaced items just flows from one room to the next. It all comes together in the end. So as adults I think we can have a certain amount of control over the ADHD. I learn stuff, like clean the front room always first. It's where people come into our home. It's also where my husband and I relax in the evening. So that's become a habit, and I don't have to continually think about it or redirect myself. Love ya! Your ADHD friend from Wyoming.

Hate to be the one to tell you, but everyone who has a messy house knows exactly how to keep a clean house. The problem is in the execution. It’s hard to explain to those who don’t struggle with it. But trust me, I WANT a clean house all of the time.

[@rali6511]

​@feraltradwife I understand you perfectly. I'm a single mom of a 10-years old daughter. She cleans after herself and tries to tidy her room but when she is tired from school is the opposite and the house is a total disaster. I think no matter if the kids are educated to help and tidy, there always will be a mess until they are not grown-ups and we have to accept it. Sometimes I'm the one who makes the disorder. We all are struggling to have a clean and tidy place to live...This struggle sometimes never ends.

[@gundulakunast2657]

I see, that you are constantly throwing things to the floors, that belong to the rubbish. Rubbish is all over your floors. What helped me with getting better with my houshold was the question: how can I save time when cleaning. For example rubbish from the countertops that I take in my hands have to go immediately in the rubbish box, which means I touch it once. When you are throwing it on the floors you have to touch it at least twice. Trying to touch things only once before they are at their places where they belong helped me. Very often it happens to me, that I see things that are bothering me, for example a book lying around, and the first thought that comes into my head is: I should bring it to the bookshelf but now I dont have the time, I will do it later. This "I will do it later" is very often in my mind. But I learned, that in the time I think that, I also have the time to grab the book physically and bring it to the bookshelf.So over the years I trained myself to get always in action whenever I have this "I will do it later" thouhgt. And that helped me a lot. At least for the hundred little things you have to do. Of course there are things, that will really take a lot of time, and must be done later.....)) You know what I mean?

I didn't used to be like this, but I'm a slave to it now, one day I will drop kick this new version of myself and the old one will be underneath just waiting to re emerge and I can have someone over without having a panic attack that they might see dust or a smudge on the wall!

I personally think it looks pretty good considering she has 3 kids and 6 fur babies. Before my husband and I had children, I was a housewife, and he was gone working for days. I got so depressed that it was hard for me to do anything other than sleep. My house was a wreck, and I was really the only one there. Depression and anxiety is rough. If you've never dealt with it, it can be hard to understand how this happens. Geez.. with kids alone, I clean my house, and it feels like 5 mins later, I have to clean it again. It really doesn't take long at all for a full house to get messy.

@@feraltradwife I don’t think it’s from the windows. I watch other channels with a lot of windows like yours and the light isn’t bright in their videos. I was just wondering if anyone else ever had the same issue/comment. I tried it on my iPad and I’m still having the same problem. I thought it could be my TV. I’d run out and get a new TV if I had to! Lol Your channel is one of my favorites so I’ll watch your videos no matter what! Just keep doing what you’re doing! ❤️ I’ll definitely check out the new channel you linked. Much love and adoration! 😊

[@Angelica_Hedgie]

I don’t think it’s too bad. Try your tv options to dim the lighting, I’ve had to do that to watch my tv at night. And on your smartphone select the night option.

[@michellesampson1249]

lol the dogs are so cute and I laughed out loud when you said these free loaders 😊 have you ever tried the scrub mommy sponges? Love them ❤

[@feraltradwife]

I haven’t? I haven’t even heard of them!! We have a scrub daddy grill scrubber though!!

Hi! Think of it like this (the prewashing). I used to work for an electric company, it's a waste of time and water. Dishwasher is not just a sanitizer, lol.

[@Sandra-ui1gp]

Good morning beautiful lady, every time I hear you say that a subscriber criticized you for something. I keep thinking what would happen if you could press a button and look into our homes?!😀I will bet you that most of us are in the same boat as you. I agree with you that if we wanted we could keep our houses clean but for that to happen we would have to get rid of our husbands, our children and our pets!!!🤪Or do nothing else in life. Great motivational video. Thanks for keeping it real. ❤️

[@feraltradwife]

Thank you so much! I have found sooooo much support and love here. I’m not hurt for the most part by the meaner comments, but it just drives me crazy that people give hard solutions to “my problem” with just a snapshot of my life. If only I had that much delusional confidence I would already rule the world!!!

[@mariabetancur6471]

The problem of having a mess in the house is that the children will grow up thinking that this is normal

[@feraltradwife]

yes, which sucks. But also my kids will grow up knowing they are loved and safe. So while I'm failing in this particular area, I am succeeding where it really matters.

[@MrsSpur]

But isn't it normal to have messes? I think it also teaches them grace and that messes will be there to be cleaned after the fun has been had. She cleans, they clean, and they learn how. So, I think it's great.

[@jodimacdonald6096]

I love the motivation! And your sense of humour! ❤😂

[@feraltradwife]

Thanks Jodi! I hope you have a great weekend babe!

I know first hand anxiety can also cause fractured thought process where you can't seem to concentrate on one thing and it seems like adhd it could well be for sure, I like to call it multi tasking, we woman are amazing at it it comes together in the end and we get a ton done. Wash your dishes how you want Beth it makes you feel comfortable so its worth it better than the stress about not doing it, Maybe you can wash them twice in the dishwasher one as a replacement to you doing the hand washing and then the sterilise program afterwards, save you the work, just think no more dishes for you to wash, apart from the pots and pans that are happy with the one wash anyway😆Least you're not hand washing your laundry before it goes in the washing machine! Sarcasm is my and my husbands love language, sometimes we don't know if we've crossed over into the realms of no truer words said in jest sometimes but we've been married 30 yrs next yr and together since 1989 so it works for us

[@feraltradwife]

SHARON I HAD THE SAME THOUGHT. at least Im not hand washing the clothes before I washing them lmaoooooo I love how long you and your husband have been together! I am so looking forward to my 15th anniversary this fall ❤️

[@sharonmumi]

He's a pain in the posterior a lot of the time but he's my shadow now, I turn 51 in 8 days so he's a part of me now, he's there, always there 🤣, This Sharon doesn't come without a Martin now and yes I know that sounds smutty but I didn't mean it like that, our sons are 28 and 18, I feel so blooming old, when the oldest turns 30 I suppose I will have to stop telling people I am 30, how dare he do this to me!

[@feraltradwife]

@@sharonmumi 🤣😂 you are hilarious my love

[@Michelle-n2i]

My therapist actually had me write down basic cleaning one step at a time for every room in my house, and i put it on my fridge, as a guide and motivation, she said just do one room at a time or if i cant do that, do one thing on the list for one room, it definitely helps me so thought i should share 😊

[@Sandramaria-re5vo]

You seem like such a lovely mom and overall person. I really relate to your home cleaning situations...my house always swings back and forth from super clean to a disaster. My motto is just make it 5 minutes better....3 ft x 3 ft at a time. Don't focus on the overwhelm. Just put one foot in front of the other each and every day. I have kids and battle depression.

[@feraltradwife]

Thank you babe! That is such a great tip, to make things 5 min better! I love that.

[@leeannmansfield5254]

It looks like you been burgled.

[@feraltradwife]

That’s hilarious.

[@acordle2007]

You’re amazing & you work super hard! One suggestion to help overcome the paralysis that comes after a huge day of cleaning (I did this to myself all the time, too but the way!) is to assign a different room to each day of the week. I’m working on this tactic myself. For me I split it up like this: Monday- living room spaces Tuesday-laundry Wednesday- kitchen Thursday- bedrooms Friday-bathrooms Saturday- porches & car It may help! ❤😊

[@feraltradwife]

Yes!!! I want to try something like that but I feel like I only deserve to have a plan after everything is perfect, which is exactly when I’m burnt out and in no place to try anything. I think I can do something like this now that I’ve discovered I can give myself permission to stop! Thank you!!

[@ginawolfe-driver804]

You do you and ignore criticism. Everyone has things that they do that just makes sense to them. I jump around when cleaning too.

[@feraltradwife]

Thank you babe!

[@Chrissyhappy]

Oh me too. I start one job. Get distracted putting stuff away then start another job I see. I get there in the end. No harm done! 😅

[@MaritaCovarrubias01]

How often does your house get like this?

[@feraltradwife]

All the time.

[@lorriemangum6734]

The pan has to be very hot. Use sesame oil. Cook fast.

[@feraltradwife]

Ok. I need to buy sesame oil!

[@raquelgordon4146]

I do the same. It grossed me out to see food in my dish washer. Cleaning out the filter is gross. I'm my state we get so much moisture, not adding to the smell.

[@nryane]

My sense, from “Why am I like this?”, is that you might have ADHD, like many of us, with “cleaning/decluttering issues”. Once I got my diagnosis of autism and ADHD, at almost 81 years of age, it explained a LOT about how I do things. I’m much more gentle on myself, as I approach 82. As I remove excess stuff from my condo, I’m beginning to see progress. I’m still not “neat”, but I can see how fewer things are making my place look better. Just some thoughts to consider….

[@feraltradwife]

I’m daily certain I am adhd, I’ve started implementing things as if I had the diagnosis just to make my life easier.

[@jillmccoy5184]

Thank you for the motivation! This happens to me too when I deep clean an area. The rest of the house falls behind. 🙄

[@feraltradwife]

Its so annoying, right?? BAM amazing clean area... turn around and OH NOOOOO lol

[@michellesampson1249]

Great job as always. You definitely will get burnt out if we over do it and the stress of it will cause us to feel mentally emotionally physically drained and we won't get nothing done. If that makes sense ❤❤

[@feraltradwife]

I feel great after stopping too. It was the correct choice! I was a little worried about being disappointed in myself but I honestly haven’t felt that!

Not sure if you’re aware but that Sams floor cleaner is super concentrated and should be diluted 2 oz per gallon of water 😂 that could be why you don’t like the way it leaves your floors. Maybe you know & don’t care & in that case you go girl! 😉 keep up the good work
