I feel like my house is constantly a fucking mess. My wife and I work 80 hours between us and we have a 2 year old and I feel like it's constantly a mess.

We do what we can and often spend a couple hours on a weekend tidying but it's a losing battle.

How do you cope/keep on top of things?

My wife is someone who cannot relax unless they house is pristine. We have a two year old also, and it seems never ending.

Somewhere on a lifehacks post, posted that they set their phone for a 15 minute Timer each day.

I do it on my watch now, silently. Each day. My wife hasn’t caught on to what I’ve been doing. But I can say is I’m having far more sex than ever.

(It’s still never ending, and seems to just shift room to room, but just more manageable)

Look at Mr stud over here lasting a whole 15 minutes !

Hmm. Seems to be taking longer as I age.
