A week in the life of a CHRONICALLY OVERWHELMED mum!

- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 28 ก.ย. 2024
- In today’s video I invite you to follow along for a week in my life as I try to figure out how to juggle all the plates and still find time to enjoy family life! There will be LOTS of cleaning, a little decluttering, but also a date night, some lovely walks in nature, self care sessions, and a glimpse of our garden transformation! I hope you enjoy!
Remi, I’ve never commented on a TH-cam video before but the way your videos have changed my life over the past year or so is pretty drastic. Your attitude of gratitude has helped me fall in love completely with my life. I have such an incredible outlook on life now. You constantly pushing yourself to always do better has pushed me to go back to school even though I’ve been told not to bother. Your kindness and non judgmental nature continues to remind me to be kind to others always and pushes me to be kinder to myself. I know you probably won’t read this, but I wanted to try to let you know how much you’ve helped me. And how it really does feel like I’m listening to a friend, while I clean my apartment. You should be so proud of yourself. Thank you.
Yeah for you!! Congratulations
You don’t know how much it means to me to read this!! It makes everything worth it to know I’m able to help in this way!! And I don’t know you personally, but I’m so proud of you! And I hope you’re incredibly proud of yourself! ❤️
Congratulations!!
That’s absolutely amazing. Wishing you huge success!!!
You are such an inspiration i have 2 teenage children at home and 2 older children who are neurodivergent, i am also neurodivergent and have poor mobility,, it is hard but you have shown me that it is ok if you have a bit of a messy house and you can forgive yourself, I am the same as you is it and wait for the appointment later in the day, but I can't get motivated in a morning so its a real struggle, but if I have someone coming round I can get my whole house done in record time, you should be proud or yourself and your amazing family can not wait to see what the future holds for you, keep being real its so refreshing x
I'm probably in the minority of your viewer demographic but i just wanted to say Thankyou Remi! I'm a 30-something man who is a former British Soldier. Suffered with depression and aniexty for over a decade now. A byproduct of this is trashing my house to the point of no return and wondering how on earth a man who could previously be so Regimental would allow his home to get so disgusting. Your videos have helped me take back control of my home. And make it a place for my children to come and visit. Couldnt of done it without your honest videos. Cheers 🖤
This is such a lovely thing to read! (Obviously not that you’re struggling) but I’m so pleased to be able to help in some way! And so happy your home is now a place you can bring your children back to ❤️
@remiclog Thank you for taking the time to respond. It was actually my ex-partner who recommended your videos to me. At first, I laughed it off. But when I actually gave them a go, it was your honest, no filter approach that really connected to me. Keep up the hard work. From the bottom of me heart Thank-you so much 💂🏻♀️🖤
❤❤thank u for your service sir xx
Well done sir!
CPTSD here. I hear you.
Girl, you are SO hard on yourself! You're doing what you can - like the rest of us. Give yourself a pat on the back for making it through each day. XX
Thank you ❤️
It may come off that way, but I appreciate her voicing it because I hear myself in it.. and hearing someone else put those feelings or thoughts into words helped me.. I often deal with shame, guilt, and frustration with myself but don't understand why or what, or how to help myself.. glad to hear it's not just me, and there is a way to work through it
Thank you for sharing not just what you're doing to help yourself, UT how you feel and think.
Very very relatable. I feel like I just sat through a therapy session
@@natka8181 it means the world to hear this! I’m so glad you’ve resonated in this way. Sending lots of love ❤️
A lot of us have the same thoughts and issues. Be kinder to yourself. Being from America (Texas), I just don't understand the lack of clothes dryers in European countries. I appreciate line drying outside, but waiting for the clothes to dry inside the house would drive me crazy. Or do you have a special room in the house for drying clothes?
Hey Remi,Midwest cleaning gave you a shout out
I know!! I was so shocked when I got the notification. Bless him, he’s so lovely ☺️
I watch Midwest Magic Ceaning too and it's great how he recommended Remi and other channels worth watching. I was already watching Remi. Mack is great!! Love his channel and Aurikateriina. Plus Remi of course!! ❤❤❤
I woke up this morning mentally, physically and emotionally exhausted. When I saw the state of the house I cried and couldn’t stop. I made myself a coffee and had breakfast, a feat in itself with how messy they kitchen was, and then I opened YT to put on some of your videos to body double with, as that really helps me. When I saw you had dropped a new video, especially with the title of this one, you have no idea how much of a boost this gave me. I cried a few happy tears, and I’m now about to watch and clean along. Thank you ❤
Please don’t worry as long as you are healthy and have a loving family that’s what counts. Mess will always be with us we just have to do a bit at a time
@@denisescutt1865 ❤️
Your sweet boy folding the laundry with you was heart-warming. You are doing a great job of teaching those boys by your example. Thank you for sharing the honest and difficult parts of maintaining a home and a family. It's so refreshing to see a real home that looks lived in by real people. ❤
I thought the same thing my heart absolutely melted it’s so adorable he’s helping his mummy, and she still gets silly comments saying her kids should help 😢 like they’re kids let them have fun!
@@chloepaulaking5319 Yes! I'm am all about having children participate in the work of running a household but doing it in this way is what will get kids to continue using these skills throughout their lives, sitting down with them and modeling chores. Not running your home like a taskmaster and cracking your proverbial whip over their heads.
Just came here to comment the same - so so cute! Bless him!
Thank you so much!! He’s a sweetheart, so proud of him! ❤️
I'm in tears. I'm so thankful to have found you. I thought I was alone. You have given me so much encouragement. I'm a mom of 3 and a wife. I suffer from chronic fatigue and massive depression. I feel like my house is eating me. I feel horrid and guilty.
Thanks for your candidness. I am not alone anymore.❤
Agreed! I have ME and constantly play catch-up with the chores. I love that Remi is so honest and makes me feel better about getting behind. Isn't she wonderful! (And Superwoman!)
You sweet Remi are perfect just way you are And you looked beautiful on your date night ! Much luv from a non neurodivergent who loves your videos, all that you stand for and for the beautiful loving home and family you work so hard to keep happy and healthy 🩷
You actually are so pretty, you looked gorgeous for your date night. This is a season in your life and it will go quick so relax and create memories. My husband of nearly 50 years just died and I have children and grandchildren who love me and we all miss him so much.
My goodness I wish I had your sensible and caring outlook on life when I was your age!! I was so depressed and hard on myself for not being able to do the most simple things, and it makes me happy that - unlike me at the same age - you understand how ADHD works and can give yourself a break. That is half the struggle!
You’re amazing Remi ❤
When my 3 kids were little I felt so overwhelmed with splitting myself in half for everyone and everything that needed me.
I remember at one stage feeling so bogged down I considered that being in jail would give me a break and peace 🤣
30 years later and Im now a Granny and I lost my eldest son several years ago.
Id give my life to have all my mess back again and children on earth
You are doing amazing. Your kids are loved and happy, well fed and clean. Your home is lovely and it looks so warm and cosy just like it should be
Be kind to yourself xx
Why do you think about yourself in the negative? You are awesome and strong. You push through but please stop when you need to. If you feel better then do something, if not take time out. If you have small children, it’s like a never ending Circle or circus. I have been there. You be yourself. We love watching you and rant all you like, we’ll listen.
Your channel is a delight. You remind me not to be so hard on myself. Thanks so much for your honesty.
You do so much the kids, the house, a job, the garden, and the cooking!
I really love your latest video showing what you do during a week of cleaning. Very inspirational.
Always love to have a new video from you. Happy, upbeat and positive ❤😊
Thank you so much! ☺️
@@remiclog welcome and thank you!!! ☺️ ❤️❤️❤️
I love your videos and your attitude of gratitude Remi! You're a great mum and doing a wonderful job 👍 Hello from Australia 🦘
Thank you so much ☺️❤️
You have just described EXACTLY what has been going through my head since even before I fell pregnant in April. Have struggled with this throughout my 20s as well. I genuinely thought I was alone in my feelings and going stir crazy. Even though I have no idea how I'm going to keep on top of it all once baby arrives, I at least feel like I've got a little bit off my chest just from watching this video. Sending love from Sussex, UK! ❤
Hi Remi. Your lawn looks fantastic. You did an awesome job. I really enjoy your videos. I am a newly retired 64 yr old from Canada. My kids are grown, no grandchildren. Keep it up.
Hi Remi, I thank you a million times over. You have been describing so many of my problems that I have to deal with every single day. I feel when I watch your videos that I am not alone and things don't have to be perfect. Spending time with your family is so important and it doesn't help being hard on yourself because things aren't tidied away. I just want to say many thanks for your videos I find them very encouraging. Please keep them coming xxx
As someone with chronic pain, I really appreciate you saying we all have stuff going on! Giving each other grace is such a loving thing!
Hi Remi, I’ve been watching you for a while and I can honestly say your videos are helping me so much; 1) keeping on top of everything around the house and 2) helping me feel less alone.
Thank you so much from the bottom of my heart.
My younger son is autistic. I have had so many people tell me if I would just be a better mother he would be perfectly normal. And usually while they are raising spoiled entitled brats. Everyone thinks they have to right to judge but don't want to be judged themselves. It is hard to ignore such people but your family is your priority. Do what you need to do for you and keep posting videos. Sometimes it helps just to know someone else is also not perfect.
People make such comments when they only see seconds of your life. They don't see the sleepless nights, the sweat and tears you have everyday. As long as you know you are doing your best everyday, that's all that matters.
Much strength, joy and peace for all your extra thoughts, work and pain that nobody sees.
The judgements of the others reveal a lot about themselves and not you.
They probably would not be able to handle a situation like yours.
You can and you do!
Thanks so much for your comments. They mean a lot to me. 🙂
Tell em to stuff off. How rude can people be
As a teacher, some of my favorite students were on the spectrum. They were clever and creative and made me laugh every day! They challenged me to think what works best for them, making me a better teacher and person. Hang in there...
Oh Remi, As newly diagnosed with Adhd.. this is just exactly how I feel. I have been spiralling with overwhelming emotion this morning and you have snapped me out of it and soothed me. Love your videos xx
Gorgeous Remi. Thanks for sharing your lovely family and Mushroom!
Hi Remi. I love your ability to speak easily and not scripted. That is a skill lots of people want but unfortunately may never achieve. Honestly, it’s as if you are just talking with a close friend over a cup of coffee. I love it. ❤ so glad I found your channel.
I recently just found your channel and have already watched so many of your videos and just clean while watching lol. I love your videos, I can relate about feeling overwhelmed at times.
Girl! You are the best! Please know you are not alone. Someone i feel like im reliving the same day over and over again. I decided to clean my fidge and freezer out. That was crazy but done. I decided it doesnt have to be perfect just a little organized. Wish ya the best love
I love your videos. And you are beautiful inside and out. You are most definately a wonderful mother. Your home is perfectly normal for a busy working mom. Stay you and stay true. ❤
I like your longer videos remi I like to watch a bit a a time over a few days 😊 really enjoy them 😊
You said, "I just don't feel good about the way I look," just as I was thinking "Look how adorable she is!" I know we don't see ourselves the way other people do, I was just struck by the simultaneous contradictory thoughts.
I love your vids. I watch them because I am calmed and comforted by your narration. You give me hope. Rooting for you! ❤
I absolutely loved this long video, loved it all, particularly your voice over.
I've been cleaning my place all day, and watching your video when I needed a break.
You are truly an inspiration ✨️
I love your openness and honesty.
Watching from Queensland Australia 🇦🇺 ☺️
I have found your videos to be so comforting while I’m navigating through a rough time in my life. I loved your video from a couple months ago where you made your cupboard into a little retreat for yourself with fairy lights and books you love. I feel inspired to do something similar 🥰🤗
Hello, thank you so much for your 'moan' it really rang true with me. You are doing so well. One thing that helped me was getting rid of as much stuff as possible from my house. It's small and cluttered with kids stuff too but whenever a new piece of clothing comes in, one goes out - less washing. New toy, one donated. Of course they can still make a massive mess with less but it has helped someway. Thanks again, you are a breath of fresh air on TH-cam!
That sounds like a really solid system!! We’ve done lots of declutters over the last year but things seem to creep back up without me really realising! Thank you 😊
Oh Remi, you talk so much sense. I love listening to your videos while I struggle on with my own housework. Thank you so much for saying this stuff out loud. 💪🤓💕✨
I’ve been listing to your videos for the past hour or two while I clean. I relate to you almost to a T in everything you’ve said in these videos. Thankyou ❤️ I feel less alone and listing to your videos have helped me get up and get things done
Loved this so much. Well done Remi.❤
Remi, you are gorgeous, you do your best for your family and it shows. So a huge thank you from Cornwall uk. Xxxxx
Hi Remi, You are a beautiful and amazing human being. ❤️. Thank you for sharing your life with us.
Your thoughts and ramblings are incredibly authentic and relatable to me. I am naturally quite neat but the "constantly working ahead" bit hit hard with me. I go literal weeks without leaving my flat, I'm a full time student in Canada (terrible economy here) working 2 jobs and cleaning constantly and never letting myself live in the moment. This was a good reminder to take a walk tomorrow and to let myself enjoy things even if it isn't productive. This channel feels the most "real" on all of TH-cam.
You're also doing quite well, before you mentioned it I noticed your messes are not nearly as bad as the ones on the channel a couple months or a year ago. You're improving and growing keep it up ❤❤
Lovely lady ! At the age of 57 I continue to learn from your beautiful self !! There aren’t many human beings that talk as much sense as you ! If parliament was filled with people like you Remi ,the country would be flying high .... and society would happy ,content and wow what a peaceful place it would be 🌷💐🌷
Oh this is such a lovely thing to say! Thank you!! 😭❤️
I really mean every word !! I can see many traits in you also in myself . To me and many more you’re a pot of gold dust in this crazy place we call the world 🌍!! The world today has way too many expectations on each and every human being especially parents . If I’d my time back when my children were tiny I’d not do the guilt trips we so very often do as parents. Obviously my children are all grown up and have lives of their own too now , however I’ve learned from you to be much kinder to myself and to reduce my expectations also . Oh and wow ! Your garden looks amazing! We are still on with getting rid of the leather jackets and that again is down to your kind self ! Sending love to you and your beautiful family 💐🌷💐
Thanks for sharing your time and efforts with us. I really enjoy your videos. When it comes to cleaning, I just do the things that tick me off the most first, then keep going until I can stand the house again, which doesn't have to be immaculate, just enough to check a few boxes and look better than it was. That satisfaction allows me to move on to other non-cleaning tasks. Hope it helps, keep up the good work, and cut yourself some slack. You're doing the work of 4 people...
Absolutely loved this . Such inspiration for those struggling also it’s good to see that days like the weather can vary .would love to see another like this
I'm listening to you talk about being in certain modes to do stuff and waiting all day for one thing, just that whole section of the video and man that hits.home.more than anything I've ever heard.
Remi, my favorite, just love your content, wisdom and humor, you’re amazing!
Your videos and little chats have encouraged me tremendously! ❤️❤️❤️
Hi Remi, your videos just popped up one day ;I started watching them and love listening to you talk. How you put forth the everyday struggles of a stay-at-home mom like me is so heartening. A lot of what you say resonates with me and I also feel so relieved you show us a normal home and not some aesthetic ,unbelievably clean and shiny house like a few other youtubers do.
Remi, thank you for doing this video & explaining your struggles. I have neurodevelopmental problems & a heart problem. And cleaning is a major challenge for me. I can put in a day of cleaning, but I need to rest & recover the whole next day. I also have problems with WAIT mode. You're doing the best you can & that is SO awesome. Thanks for the inspiration.
Love you Remi, love your long videos!! I totally agree with what you said about "train your partner" what a lot of nonsense!! I recently started working again, and I've also been battling to fit everything in, in a day, and you are totally right about - " I don't have to, I get too". We are so blessed with all we have 💚
It definitely takes strength to put yourself out there as you do. Ive been there - daily as well. Getting overwhelmed by what others feel are “simple tasks “ causes such a guilty feeling. Why can’t I seem to keep up? I dont know. Good for you to get it done at all!!!! Your chats are fun and can also be inspiring to get my ass off the couch. Thanks. Keep up the good work.
That’s so cute your child is helping you fold clothes!!🌷💝🥰 Yes, it’s hard to be a mom & wife. You’re doing a Wonderful job!😇🙏
Yay top 326 and top 60 likes and comments. Thanks for making this video. Best to you and your family.
Clicked on video 59 minutes after it was posted
Girl I just love you and everything you have to say 👏 Am always saying 'preach' and nodding my head to your videos!
LOVE that the new drawers in your bedroom match the other furniture! 🎉
OMFG Remi THANK YOU!!!
After 10+ years of horrendous investigation, lotions, potions, pills, diet, failed exercise etc I FINALLY KNOW WHAT'S WRONG WITH ME THANKS TO YOU!!!
Can't wait to ring my Dr Tomorrow & tell him! Bless ya cotton socks love 😘
As always, adore your continuous commitment & compassion in sharing your stories & making us better human beings. Love from Australia ❤️🤗
You are absolutely inspiring und have been such a help for me. Single mom with two teenage kids....Lots of love nd gratitude from southern Spain❤
You are absolutely seen and heard, my friend! I wish you could be as patient and kind with yourself as you are with everyone else! ❤ As a mother of 3, I can assure you that one person cannot keep up with the clutter of 4! Especially when they're still little! You just can't. And you are 100% right making the time with your kids as top priority. My kids are all grown now. I have more than enough time to clean to my heart's content. And when they visit, they never ever say "Remember when we were kids and the house was so cluttered?". What they say is "Remember when we used to make the blanket fort and read books inside it? Remember you used to give us 10 minutes to get all of our toys into the toybox while you played funny music, but every time you paused the music we had to freeze in whatever position we were in? "
Remi, this is a great video. And as always, your voice is so calm and soothing ❤.
My health has stopped me being able to get the housework done, so I now have a cleaner come every fortnight. It's not what I would have chosen, but it helps me so much, and then your videos help me want to keep on top of it. It's so important to advocate for yourself medically, so thank you fir talking about that.
So nice to see Charlie, and I hope you had a wonderful date night ❤. You looked gorgeous 🥰.
You've done a great job with the garden! You are right to be proud of yourself 💪🏼.
Self care looks different for different people, so keep doing what is important to you, and enjoy that lovely garden and relaxing bedroom 😘
I just want to tell you that you are doing great. I very much struggle to stay motivated and feel constantly guilty for not keeping a better home and I don't even have children! Just waking up and getting through the day when you have a diagnosis is an achievement though and I have to remind myself of that. I work full time and when I come home the last thing I want to do is start cleaning and all I actually want to do is be present in my own head and reset myself so that I am able to cope with leaving the house the next day. I happened across your channel a couple of weeks ago and tbh it was your accent that stopped me in my tracks as I think you probably hail from a similar place to where I grew up. I have not lived up there for many, many years but can't help but feel comforted by it!
I do that ‘waiting’ thing too that you talked about. If I work a half day I’d far rather do a morning and be free to do whatever I want afterwards than do an afternoon when much of the morning is wasted waiting for it to be time to go to work!
You’re such an inspiration Remi and you work so hard. I think you have far,far too many clothes ( or the boys do). I’m sure they would be happy with a quarter of the clothes and you would have so much less laundry and putting away to do.
Your tips are amazing, I always clean more when I clean with you❤❤❤!!! Tackling several rooms at once is a game changer for me. Before, it would take me all day to just do one spot (of course i would sit down) and then I would hyperfocus and get frustrated that the rest of the house was a mess. Then i would feel guilty that i didnt take my 3 kids out and they were bored
I really love boho type styles of tops! They float over my tummy areas that I’m most self conscious about ❤ I don’t care about “what’s in” style, I stick to what I’m drawn to & that’s the hippie/boho/ classy/ tropical style ❤🥰😇
I really hope you relate to your life and your thoughts. I am at a different place in my life, now retired and the kids have left home. But I have undiagnosed ADD, so I do relate to raising children, working full time, and slowly curing my own perfectionism.
Don't give up, you are doing great ❤
I don't think I have ever left u a comment I have fought your corner on a nasty comment tho 😂I think your great and a brilliant mum, I just wondered if your children still sleep with you as no one will get a good night's sleep if so, I know I know it's your choice as a family but sleep is so important, and personally I would be ratty every day if my children slept in my bed I know they would never sleep soundly either, just sharing a bed with my snoring partner exhausts me ❤
I love your videos Remi- absolute pleasure to watch and highlight of my viewings!!! Also yayayayaya for the new set of draws!!! I had such a sense of relief wash over me when I saw them!! I think half the battle sometimes with trying to keep washing done is not having enough space to store it, and I always was wishing you’d get a bigger one to make your life a bit easier ❤
I love this "mini-series"!!!
It will be ok it's ok to not be ok you got this as always you got this
Hi from Colorado! have just found your channel, and I am so glad I did! I am a mom of 3, and I relate to your videos so much. I also struggle with feeling like I am constantly cleaning my house for it to look not that good and feeling guilty that I didn't spend enough quality time with my kids. I also struggle with keeping friends, and I feel lonely a lot of the time. I hope you are doing well and just know that you are not alone!!
I would have to say this is my favorite video you have ever done!!!! Well don’t girl !!
Remi, I can understand that some people just can't function like others. I listened to you saying the usual stuff people tell you to do to try keep on top. I just wanted to ask have you tried writing a list of things to get done daily, appointments you have etc. Do you put a load of washing on every day? I usually pack/unpack dishwasher or clean kitchen when I'm waiting for toaster to finish- 3mins or kettle to boil. I take rubbish out. It's so hard to not get distracted by things you see if you go from room to room putting away. It can take months or years to train yourself the way it may work best for you. It's hard to tackle things when you are hormonal too. I hear everyone says don't put it down, put it away.
Concerning the packing peanuts that your kids spilled yesterday: they areawesone for crafting, if they are the ones made of cornstarch, because they stick to each other when moistened. Awesome for big constructions or filling pictures! Havnt senn them in years except in Germany where they are an expensive toy for kids.
Remi is sounds so silly but I am SO PROUD of you !!! Children are more important than a perfect house ! I have been watching you for quite a while now. You have a brilliant outlook on life. I’m 74 and retired but my lovely daughter and her husband and 2 children live in a big house with my husband and and myself. My days are never boring and everyone says I don’t act my age. There is so much life in this house along with our 100 pound dog ! Busy is good ! I’m still picking up toys and it seems like we don’t get caught up but I have a clean kitchen and bathroom. And I notice you do the same. If that’s done then toys can wait for a bit. The laundry just barely gets caught up and then another messy day happens. But as my husband says , you can’t eat a dinosaur in one bite. You’re doing great !! And you work a job outside of the home as well ! You need a shirt with a giant ‘S’ on the chest for supermom !!!! I had four children and also have the separation of my abdominal muscles. I was always too scared to have surgery to repair it so my doctor told me to get an elastic belly support that fastens with Velcro and it supports my insides while taking away the pain in my back. Maybe you could try that ? I could exercise and do sit-ups forever for my abs but nothing worked. The support really helped me maybe something similar would be for you ? Just a thought. The backyard looks absolutely wonderful ! Good job !!!! Just a note on your sand box ( that’s what we call them in the US ) maybe tie a clothesline around the perimeter of the box and when you put the cover on, use clothes pins to secure the top to the rope/line you tie around the top of the sand box. Maybe that will keep the cover from popping off. We also had a sand box and the cover would magically come off and, yes, there are neighborhood cats that you want to keep out of the sand. Maybe that could help and if not you just got more pins for the wash ! Keep up the great videos and I so look forward to more in the future 😊
"I totally get it. Sometimes I just feel like escaping because whenever I try to take some time for myself, I end up neglecting the cleaning, and it becomes so stressful."
Your just brilliant Remi ❤
I love your videos. Also, the day to yourself on Mother's Day/Father's Day. I absolutely love Bridgerton and started watching Derry Girls, too. It is hilarious!!
I feel tired most of the time ,even though I dont have small childrens.Thank you so much for showing the reality of most of us parents specially mums😢
You popped up on my FYP a few months ago and I’ve been watching your videos ever since. I love that you make them and voiceover them telling us your inner thoughts because I resonate with them so much! BUT… This one this video… I’m on day one 8 minutes in and I have felt every word you have spoken so far! I paused to write this comment when you are cleaning tge second load of dishes and are talking about modes you go in and out of and how they don’t cross over! This was mind blowing for me! I came here to say thank you for making these and sharing them with the world so others can feel seen and heard! ❤️
An all or nothing mindset and what you said about waiting mode, friendship mode, etc. 🎯🙋🏼♀️😩
These videos are motivating and therapeutic for us girlies dealing the same struggles🫶🏻
I’m not disappointed in your cabinet filled with clutter! I do it all the time, but I notice that even if it looks horrible, it really isn’t as bad each time I go back to clean it out 🙈 I can tell that the decluttering efforts make a difference each time! And I do the same thing with hiding things to give the illusion of being tidy lmao 🙈💖 sometimes I think the brief illusion of tidiness does give me a mental relief and boost that can be valuable sometimes!
(Sorry I keep commenting! I’m just commenting as I watch 🥰)
Hi darlin, What a pleasant surprise! waking up to an hour long Remi DITL vlog ❤ I’m sitting on my deck with a hot cuppa on a chilly winters morning. I’m not moving, thoroughly enjoying every minute of it 😊
Great job getting all of that done, I remember trying to clean and tidy with little ones was like herding cats! Lol😅
I loved your nature walk. Its beautiful there.
Loved seeing you dressed up for date night!!! So cute
Thank you Remi! My mind is defo calmer in a tidy place. Just life is messy and balance is constant re-attempt...You dear Remi, are a delight and are my spirit animal❤
You and Charlie have a beautiful relationship. Please treasure each other.
Thank you! We absolutely adore each other 🥰
Never had someone explain me perfectly until you. Its a daily struggle in my life esp with 2 little ones
You’re not alone ❤️
Been through this phase of parenthood aka the trenches, i can tell you it does get easier, persevere through this mum youre doing an amazing job 💪
Hi remi take no notice of people who have nothing better to do than write horrible comments you are great and I love watching you just remember if they don’t like it turn it off ❤xx
You’re a great momma. I love your motivating content.
Thank you so much! ☺️
Thank you for the videos. They are wonderful, especially to know I'm not alone in this overwhelming part of life.
Remi, you're amazing! You truly have too much going on. That's a tough time in the parenting years. Nevermind any mental health issues. My kids are 17 and 18 now. I feel like i have PTSD from all of the years of over stimulation. 😊 Everything you do for your family shows your love for them. They only thing that needs to be perfect is that they know how much you love them. You're amazing ❤
I know im the oddball here. i never met some to spend life with, but job losses caused a lot of mental anguish 8months before i got a job. now im disabled since 2012 with arthritis. not allowed to climb ladders. so everything needs to be in reach. I've been decluttering since 2015. (a few rats that got in and destroyed some things and an apt flood from broken toilet while i was gone for a weekend.) but i continue to reduce so i can handle it, i have no family close to me, (well, theres a few but caught in themselves to even visit) but i just keep putting 1 foot in front of the other. continuing to reduce has really helped. in the end, things really arent so important people are. prayers for you. 🙏🙏💗💗🤗🤗🌻🌻🌿🌿🥤🥤👏👏
Hi @lisaann6267,
I maybe an oddball here also 😅
I never found anyone to spend life with either. Thank goodness I have my sweet cat to keep me company. I can relate to the family issues. Mine rarely call anymore and never visit. Yes, I keep putting one foot in front of the other. I have been reducing items in my home. I was doing well with that until I decided to sell some sentimental things. Decided I changed my mind, bought the things back except for one thing that already sold. Been searching Ebay for a year but still haven't found a replacement.
But like you say, in the end it's not things that are important, it's people and our pets.
I have ADHD too and I can totally relate with what you say. It makes me so sad that I cant keep the house tidy and clean. :-( For years I had been telling myself that once my flat was decluttered and tidy I could finallly start living.. It turned out that I never reached that goal. So now I started to live and just do what I can and take care of my kids AND do some selfcare too.
I love your house and your yard it's beautiful
I love your videos. You’re amazing!!!! I wish TH-cam was around when my kids were young. I could’ve used the support of seeing others struggling to keep a home clean 💕I’m so addicted to these videos now and my home is much easier to manage. My kids and hubby help tons!!
One of your videos always seems to come along right when I need it 😅 or maybe I always just need motivating 😂 I hope you truly know how much you're helping people, Remi.
I'm watching one day, then going off and doing some bits, then the next day and so on and it's helped me no end today.
So far in the day one video, i've noticed the chair that Ike pulled out to get his apple which you then had to stop and peel, and a boys swim suit hung on the airer to dry, showing that someones been having fun in the water which creates more jobs for you to do but also shows youve been spending precious moments with your babies ❤ you're a wonderful Mother xx
It took me years to start tidying upstairs one day and downstairs the next with dishes everyday and one load of laundry every day. It’s the e only way I can cope
Bless you! Glad you found a system that works for you!
Honestly I don’t think I could skip a day tidying downstairs, it looks like a tornados hit it within hours!
Hey Remi!!! I was so happy and proud to see….the hamper was not overflowing. I think you give yourself less credit than is due! You’re a busy mom, and that job alone is full time. We’re not superwomen, but, we just have to do the best we can:) Hope this encourages:)) 🧽🧹🧼🧺🏠 Have a great week!
I totally relate to the discussion about housework versus self care. The fear of things turning to chaos if I stop to do self care or relax, is real for me. Love your channel ❤️
You are doing all the right stuff, the important stuff. Hang in there. Hope the little one sleeps through soon. Thanks for sharing, and best wishes.
Loved this video… glad you are feeling better
