How many of you swoon over bedrooms of Instagram? I'm guilty, but I know you are too.

The problem here isn't about swooning over tidy and staged rooms, the problem is believing that those rooms belong to a family with small kids. It's impossible.

A lot of people, including myself, used to think that parenthood is a smooth ride and that nothing can stop you from keeping your house clean. I mean, how difficult can it be to make sure everything's in its place?

It's not only difficult, but it's also a challenge you have to overcome... I don't know, maybe six million times a day? You clean the house in the early morning before your kids wake up, but five seconds after they wake up, it's dirtier than you even thought possible.

How do you explain that?! You can't.

Kids are messy, and they have to be, otherwise, they're not kids. Ever seen a grownup throwing food, splashing paint, and throwing a full-blown tantrum?

Oh way, then there was a Karen. My bad.

Point is, parents with small kids have so much to do that keeping the house spic-and-span has the least priority. Getting through the day and making sure the kids are fine is the top priority.

So all parents who're constantly apologizing for your unkempt rooms, please don't. We promise not to judge.

1. We feel you, mom.

2. There's always something to dump everything else in.

3. Still looks better than some kid homes I know.

4. Yep, it's everywhere but on the table.

5. She looks so exhausted.

6. Well, at least the colors are great.

7. Oh boy.

8. They're magical.

9. We're still waiting for the right time to fold them.

10. For us, it takes seconds. And it's not a compliment.

11. Still pretty good for a toddler!

12. Very relatable.

13. So what if it's four months past Christmas... no one cares.

14. Hey Pennywise!

15. Well, get some rest first, mama.

16. Reminds me of the old times...

17. It will take more than a year to sort that out, I promise you.

18. Well, as long as the kids are happy.

19. LOL.

20. As long as you're having fun. Don't care about what others think.

21. Technically because the bed is big and higher, which makes cleaning and messing easier.

22. This brings bad many terrifying memories.

23. At least you don't have to buy a separate fort and slide.

24. ROFL.

25. Hey, the TV or desktop's screen's still working. I think you made it.

26. Better late than never, I say.

27. Kids grow up fast...

28. Wow.

29. Get some rest, mama.

30. Oh it's going to stay there for more than tomorrow.

31. Well, it's neat.

32. The kids are happy, so it's a win-win.

33. Dogs won't judge you.

34. ROFL.

35. LOL.

36. Now, this is sweet!

37. Only 1,000 times? Boy, you have no idea.

38. LOL.

39. These kinds of comments are hurtful. Please be considerate.

In Summary...

Now that you've seen how other houses with children are, and if you're a spouse, please help each other out. Nothing pains one so much than to be the only one cleaning the mess of children you both made!

Don't criticize a parent for not cleaning. They're not 'not cleaning' for fun, it's just too much at times.

The only way to find out is to step in their shoes and see how much work it is to be a parent. To all parents out there, you've got this.
