You can make it a game or a contest for the kids to help clean up. You can also get rid of alot of extra clutter by have a garage sale, or selling things to the salvation army for extra cash. Also you can get bins/baskets for the kids to help you tidy things up. Or do what I do, I bribe my mine with sex! Today he did the dishes, vacuumed and took out the trash!

You need to set up a cleaning schedule and assign everyone a chore. Your husband should be more than willing to help out, and if he isn't, explain to him that the burden of taking care of a household should be shared by everyone.





As for the kids, provide them with incentives for completing a certain amount of chores. It's amazing how something as simple as a sucker or something can motivate a kid to clean. You'll have to adjust that obviously for the age of the kids, but you'll come up with ideas.





But the bottom line is, you need help, and you've got people there who can and should help you, because they create part of the mess. You're a mommy...not a maid.





Good luck!
you better whoop your kids i mean give them spankings when they messed up the house and oh yea your hubbie too lol....no on a serious note just teach them that it is not ok to make a mess and if they do they need to clean it up. Just teach them cause when you teach them young they will learn now for your hubbie he should know better than that
GIVE THEM CHORES TO DO AND EVERY TIME THEY DONT DO THE CHORE THEY LOSE A TOY.I DID THIS AND AFTER MY KIDS LOST HALF THERE TOYS BELIEVE ME THEY STARTED PICKING UP AFTER THEM SELVES AND THEY KNEW IF THEY DIDNT THEN THEY WOULD LOSE THE TOYS.DO NOT GIVE THEM THE TOYS BACK DONATE OR THROW AWAY THAT WAY THEY KNOW YOURE NOT KIDDING .GOOD LUCK!
