I’m not a fan of self diagnosis so if I were to read it again I would skip the intro.
While it was a book to give tips on cleaning it seemed much more to be a self help book.
Like all self help books I take what I find relevant and probably won’t impose things I didn’t see as necessary.
I do find this book to be more geared to parents of young children. As that’s me it was pretty well timed.
She relates a lot to her own life experiences. I didn’t match up with all of it, but as a stay at home mom with two young kids a lot did resonate. Some other stuff I was kind of out of the loop on. There were things she said she could not relate to so she couldn’t fully give insight, as these things were pretty relatable to me the insight really hit the nail on the head and changed my way of thinking.
I wouldn’t say this is a book for everyone. I feel like it’s really good for young parents who weren’t raised themselves with helpful housekeeping knowledge. If your parents raised you in a way you understand how to prioritize cleaning tasks and self care at the same time as well as teaching you to actually clean, maybe this isn’t for you. But if you weren’t taught one or the other this is pretty good.
I would say I’ve been cleaning after myself well for my whole life. I had a pretty strict childhood when it came to cleanliness. Living with someone else (partner and kids) changes habits totally, making organization and cleaning harder. This book really lets you know in the kindest terms that that is natural and okay. The parts of the book that discussed balance sat with me the most and I truly appreciated.
Overall I would recommend it, just not to everyone and also skip the intro.
