I never really liked those couches anyways and that area rug is a TTT piece of shit. the hardwood floors in the kitchen look dated and should be replaced. the woodwork in the dining room that is covered with dry erase marker doodles that won't come out is an easy touch up paint job, nbd.

when I was a toddler apparently I put a hershey bar inside our VCR which melted inside and ruined the thing. this was back when VCRs were like $400 and $400 was more like $1500. somehow I got out of that one without any broken bones.

you pick up after them 3 or 4 times a day. you don't give them shit that will spill or leave marks to play with inside. it's really no big deal.

Explain why you think that. Because that is literally the only strategy for young children.

because this doesn't actually prevent them from destroying your house, it's a minor mitigation strategy at best.

also, lol at having multiple kids and also having the time to make your house squeaky clean 4 times a day

actually yes, if you don't give them anything that spills or leaves marks, that's an excellent way to prevent them from destroying your house

also no one said anything about squeaky clean, you're merely collecting their toys and putting them in the designated area WITH their help so that they recognize this is something that needs to be done. poor rc?

Do you ever have people over? What if you also need to be picked up after? How much housekeeping/tidying is reasonable?

It just gets destroyed. You do what you can within reason to mitigate it but it’s unavoidable.

Depends how old your kids are.

1-4: lol good luck.

5-12: Have a designated play area and start insisting all toys go away.

13 & up: they're in the bedroom sending nudes, house is spotless.

But we have a maid twice a month and my wife and I each clean TOGETHER for 10 minutes after bed time. Doing this TOGETHER is extremely important so that you don't build resentments. So the house is at least tidy when we sit down on the couch and in the morning. The more focused you stay on getting the kids ready in the morning, the less the house will get trashed.

Wife before kids: Don’t worry we’ll never be those parents who let the kids take over the house

2 years later: entire living room filled with toys and kid furniture and gated off on both ends, giant stools that apparently permanently live in the hallway off the kitchen for ease of use in the kitchen, secondary diaper changing station set up in the master bedroom, giant stroller permanently parked by the front door.

To the extent you continue to care at all about your home’s cleanliness you need to have a dedicated chore time at the end of the day where you both clean up.

SAHM, maid twice a month. teach kids to pick up their toys after playing and clean up their messes (youll of course have mixed results with actual cleanliness from this, but instilling the habit is whats important).
