Ask the average parent about what living with little kids is like and it likely will not take them long to say something along the lines of "messy". The lack of awareness of their surroundings combined with the unholy amount of toys is almost guaranteed to make even the cleanest room unrecognizable in under an hour. A big part of parenting is cleaning up and wondering how everything falls back into chaos again so quickly.

It's no wonder, then, that many gaze upon the moms and dads who appear to have perfect homes with suspicion. When one influencer and mom posted a video of her house and claimed that "one day" she would miss the mess, viewers couldn't see what she was referring to. If you want to show off your showhome-level house on social media, that's fair enough, but a house with kids rarely looks that clean without a heck of a lot of help.
