That is how we like it and are very happy to do it.
Sorry but your life sounds like the "workhouse " to me

Imagine, waking up every morning and having to slog away at housework for most of the day! Why? For what? If it's for visitors, then they are visitors I don't want! They should be coming to see me, not my house!!

the secret for me is doing 'a little and often' so it never gets too bad and always looks clean and tidy .

Years ago, when I would start hoovering, my children would say, 'Who's coming?'!
I didn't put importance on housework then either. My time was spent giving time and attention to my five children. I truly believe this is why they have turned out to be well balanced people with great senses of humour!
