I was raised by a severely mentally ill and drug addicted mom who rarely left her bed and my dad was absent. So basically I was thrown to the wolves and had to learn how to do everything on my own. Even simple things like how to brush my teeth and properly wash. I had to teach myself how to clean and do laundry because if it didn’t the house would literally never be cleaned. But it was hard because I had zero structure. So now as an adult I’m still trying to figure things out. I’m learning about skin care and how to keep up with keeping a clean and organized home. This is embarrassing to me, but I’m trying to learn. My therapist told me I basically need to re-parent myself by creating chore charts and checklists to help develop healthy routines so things don’t get out of control.

So I’m curious what everyone does to keep their house presentable and clean? I’ve pretty much got the hygiene stuff down, but am still really open to advice. Mostly I really struggle with my home, so any tips or advice will be much appreciated!! Thank you so much!
