I'm a single mother of six living in a 2 bedroom council house – it's far from 'perfect'
Keeping the house clean is a never-ending task for most, but when you have six kids, some days it's almost impossible.
Everyone takes pride in their home to some extent, but there comes a time in every household when no matter how hard you try, the place will eventually look 'lived in'.

I post this 'motivation for mothers' TikTok mom of six likes to post her DIY hacks and share other daily reminders to keep other moms going.
Her recent one clamp highlighted a different side of motherhood and celebrated the fact that perfection does not exist.
The single mother @de.wijsheid.familie7 introduced a tour of her home and said, “Realistic video for you hot moms, because let's face it, no one lives absolutely perfectly, especially when you have so many kids.”
“As a mother of six, I try to keep things as tidy as possible with my little DIY projects, but yesterday I was under the weather… and I couldn't really do anything, so my house is a bit of a mess.
“I'm just putting this out there because I'm the only one who takes care of them and I'm the only one who can clean up to a certain extent.
“Yes, the older kids can clean, but my cleaning and their cleaning are completely different things.
“I'm just posting a realistic video of what it's like when I'm not 100 percent on the ball.”
The poor mother has to sleep in her front room and let the children share the two bedrooms upstairs.
Captioning it 'perfect who, perfect where', the mum-of-six gives her followers a tour of her two-bedroom council house, where her children play quietly as she documents piles of laundry piling up and toys strewn across the floor.
One commenter wrote: “I don't know how you do it. I have five and can barely cope with a very helpful man. The mess never ends.”
Another wrote: “Thanks for normalizing life *love heart emoji*.”
