All these comments telling this poor woman not to do this and that and about her furniture.. And her husband smoking.. Get a life people.. Her home and family are normal.. You do you and leave her alone.. I really enjoy her videos and her energy.. She's real.. Her family and mess are real.. My only moan is i would watch more of her videos.. Take care my fellow mum... 😇
Thank you so much for this comment. My hope for these videos was always to be real. I wanted people out there to feel better that their home wasn’t full of clear plastic storage bins and carpet lines. This channel is also called “small steps to big changes” your following my journey to getting my house looking the way I want it, this might not be how others want it. I am working on getting more videos coming out each week so stay tuned 🥰
I’m a lot like you. My 20 year old grandson lives with us, works full time and love him to the moon and back. He knows how to clean, has been taught how to clean and do laundry but gets lazy and leaves cups, laundry, etc on the floor in his room. He does have ADHD and gets easily overwhelmed by it. Once a week I go in and clean it really well and I don’t mind either. His standard of clean and mine are different and he’ll have to deal with that when he has his own apartment. For now, it needs to meet my standards and I don’t mind because I want our home clean. Husbands aren’t always very neat and clean either 😂. Love your videos❤. Yes to the window rejuvenation video, my windows need it too!
@@JoyceB-qv9xq she is definitely not lazy. She works very hard she doesn’t keep house work as a high priority and that is 100% because I’m ok with doing it for her. She is a wonderful friend, girlfriend, employee, big sister and daughter. At her age expecting her to put housekeeping at the top of her priority list isn’t something I’m overly worried about
@@RaquelTrotter Your daughter is YOUR CHILD....NOT your friend, NOT your girlfriend, NOT your big sister! You can continue to live with a slob, that's your priority! I can only imagine her personal grooming skills. ICK!!
How’s the view up there on your high horse lady? I guess you & the possible children you have are a bunch of strait-laced moral zealots huh? I highly doubt it 🙄
@@evastriebel7980 ❤️ see that’s the thing. Like I say in the videos I am choosing to do this for her. This allows her the freedom to not worry about things to much, when at home she should be able to relax. Sure sometimes it drives me crazy but what teen doesn’t drive their parents bonkers once in a while?. I know people are concerned she won’t be a functional adult. Again as I say in the videos, she knows how to do this stuff and when she becomes an adult with her own place then I’ll help her figure it out if needs be. 😊
Ladies cleaning our grown kids’ rooms and messes shows that we are 1. Controlling and may use theses actions in the future to throw it in their faces; or 2. We don’t want to let them go… Both show that you crave love and appreciation. It’s ok to help them from time to time but it shows that you’re not ready to let go. Your children will either appreciate this, it may cause issues with whoever else they cohabitate, or they’ll never care at all. Simple as that
@@mariacastillo3090 dear Maria, I am 62 years old and already a grandma. Two of my children left my house when they were 18 years old, one when she was 20 years old. So your theorie of "these are children that dont want to leave hotel mama" is not right. I always was working 100% as a teacher for children with special needs, so my kids had to learn very early to wash their clothes, to cook, buy groceries and clean, also beacause I am a single mum, I love it to clean and organize, so when I visit my youngest daughter in Sydney, Australia, I like to help her with cleaning up, doing household things. The same with my oldest daughter that lives in Switzerland. I think it is not convenient to judge somebody from "far away", you never know about their special circumstances.
Ohhh now lemon juice id do, thank you. Bleach worries me plus I hate the smell but lemon juice, if any traces remain, will only leave a sour taste and will do no harm.
@@Cor-Blimey-Gov I’m not sure Alyssa is lazy as such I think she just has different priorities. As soon as she is home and changed she is out the door again seeing friends and living life. I envy that about her. I would love to get home and go out with my friends but I don’t have the mental energy a lot of the time lol
I see a lot of myself and my own organization "struggles" in your daughter's room; I've been switching things up, so maybe some of those would help your daughter, too, and, as an extra little bonus, make your cleaning her room easier :) 1) I noticed that she is making certain piles; like for example, most of the empty plastic bags and bottles were in one space, clothes were condensed to that particular area, etc. When she says that she has nowhere to put her things, it could be because it's not in the areas, she would need it in (those spaces where clutter accumulates). Laundry hampers are a great idea, for both dirty and clean. And just tons of bins and baskets! 2) For me personally, it has to be fun, too. For example, baskets in colours that I like, decorating my things with stickers (on the hampers for example). But that is something she does by herself, while she's finding out her own decorating style and just by going through life :3 4) What I really encourage you to do is working with her for this and helping her figure out how her space needs to be put together in order to work for her. Not everyone organizes the same way, some need certain possessions in sight or on display, others want everything to be hidden away in boxes for a clean, and more minimalistic look :) And both are absolutely valid! Maybe this helps! I really loved your video :) You seem like a kind, warm and lovely person to be around, and the way you narrated this video was very calming to listen to. Also, super motivational to also do some cleaning myself today!
Thank you so much for that. I have been going through my whole house looking at the issues we have in each room and working out how to solve them. I’m also looking for ways to stream line little jobs to make life a little easier and make housework quicker so I can do the deep cleans and big projects around the house and not get overwhelmed. Your suggestions are very helpful thank you
Ooh a nice long vlog. You got so much done Raquel, you’re a powerhouse! Del is a gem for helping you with the washing. Looking forward to your window cleaning vlog. I bought a pack of 10 pack of “Narrow Gap Cleaning Brushes” for window tracks from Temu. I was so impressed, I gave our cleaners one each and kept a few for home. I keep one especially for cleaning the loo because it gets right in the hinges of the seat etc, I love it. It’s bloomin freezing here in Aus right now (10 degrees at present 6pm Tuesday) 🥶 bring on Spring!! Hope you got some decent sleep before going back to work lovely. See you next time 😊
@@donnapalaussie19 thank you for watching. I can’t wait to do the windows either. I did get a really good sleep before going back to work today thank you
That's why I put my sons washing away.he say leave it there and he do it later. That will never happen.so I put it away.my son dies work 12 hour shifts.
You really aren't upset that she leaves actual trash everywhere? My husband works 60 hours a week and I stay at home, but if he just threw trash on the floor, I would not tolerate it. That's showing complete disrespect for you and for the home.
@@katiecommon3614 honestly in her room no I’m not upset by it. It’s her room and I only clean it because I want to. If I didn’t want to clean it then it would stay bad until she got board with the mess and cleaned it herself. If and when the rest of the house was disrespected like that then yes I would take issue and make her clean up. In my mind my children’s rooms are like their own homes and, as with anyone you meet, I wouldn’t walk into someone’s home and demand they live differently. 😊
There is no proper furniture in that bedroom though, just plastic boxes and a mattress on the floor. You can get good furniture from Gumtree, or the Heart Foundation shops quite cheaply. For example, a divan base would give good storage under the bed.
I would have NEVER let my mom or anyone else do my room at 19. I have ADHD and ASD. I never had a room dirty like that so I’m not a fan of people suggesting ADHD or autism just because someone is gross and lazy. Ah nice the boy can do it and have ADHD and Autism. I feel better now.
It’s not an excuse, we don’t even know if she has ADHD, Autism, or any mental health issue for that matter but I do know that having those issues can make things harder for people. Labelling people as disgusting or lazy, isn’t helpful. You are entitled to your opinion but sometimes you have to ask yourself if your opinion is helpful perhaps?
@@bevmiller4194 it’s like that because she is almost never there to be bothered by it. She’s in, she changes and she’s out again, she will snack sometimes before she goes out and the only time she’s in her room is to sleep so solve doesn’t worry,plus I don’t mind. There will be plenty of time for her to worry about cleaning when she grows up
Not your child not your business.. my 34 yr knows how to clean but as his mother when I'm cleaning I clean his room as well..when he living here. He does not at this time.
@@chrissmith-no3boYour reply to the lady’s comment was uncalled for. You’re just rude and she does have a point about our children cleaning their own rooms. This shows that you’ve raised your boy to be dependent on you. I can understand if our children are working odd hours and/or going to school. But they should maintain somewhat of an orderly room. It takes a few minutes to bring down plates or soda bottles or even the garbage bag. Rethink your answers before writing it down.
@@mariacastillo3090 My son was raised good. He hardly relies on me for anything. Because he is grown and lives with his girlfriend. He is a truck driver and only home on weekends. He spends as much time with her then on Sundays before he leaves out he goes to the laundry mat to wash his clothes and bedding. When he home he also takes her to work and picks her up during the week she takes a bus. But when he was living with me if he had a mess in his room he knew what to do . I only cleaned in there when I was spring cleaning. He was hardly home between school and work. So where you think I was rude to this woman you better regroup. Because it's not her child. Dectate your own child and stop telling another mother she wrong for cleaning her daughters room. No that's being a mom. We still like to take care of them no matter how old they get. Don't tell another parent how to deal with their child. Worry about your own. Mine don't depend on nobody but himself. He knows better. I raised him. Not his father not his uncle's or aunts. Not his grandparents. His mother. Alone for 18 yrs until he was ready to have a go alone. Sure I helped him get stuff for his apartment.. so did my folks when I got my first apartment. It's called being a parent
Spoiling is unhealthy. Making ur child a co-dependent even more! You say, she doesn't care, bc she's barely there? Stop cleaning her room at all, THEN ONE DAY SHE GONNA START TO CARE. When she become so disgusted with her own room, that she doesn't want to even sleep there. Just wait & see. 😅😂 *MAKE HER CARE.* Later kids move out & don't know how to clean after themselves. Mommy not gonna be forever there. 🤨
Everyone in my house knows that I like cleaning. They help,but I have to do it because I have this brain that tells me it wasn’t done right. I’m getting a bit better,lol. My strength has really gone down,I just don’t have the energy to clean the whole house in one day. And it is annoying 😊. And that’s one of the reasons I watch your channel,to watch a whole house cleaning.
Sweetheart you really are the best just love your vlogs and what you say is true i dont want to see lines in the carpet i want to see a real lived in home like mine hate show homes i alwayes cleaned my two daughters bed rooms thay never did any house work when thay lived at home to be honest i preferred to do it like you carnt wait for the next vlog take care ❤
@@RaquelTrotter You work so hard it's commendable you are the only one you keep your surroundings so tidy and clean I love it it's a learning point people can learn a lot from you I'm proud
@@donnabyrne-gi8ry her bed base broke a while back, we were going to replace it but she prefers sleeping on the floor. She takes after my self and her grandfather. In my teens I slept on the floor and still to this day sometimes still prefer it. My father, Alyssa’s grandfather sleeps on the floor most nights.
I suffer from fibromyalgia & chronic inflammation I've got a 26yr old son, a parrot & a German Shepherd who all live in the house, i constantly clean to stay on top of things even though am so i take breaks in between also my son helps, i also do the gardening, you need to get your partner & kids to help you, you can also go to charity shops for good furniture
Hi can ask a question. My daughter just decided she wants to sleep on the floor with mattress. Have you put anything under it for protection. Im sure heard it before to stop mould ect . Take care x
We don’t have anything under her bed and we have never put anything under the mattress any of the other times we’ve done it. You do need to flip it regularly, we do it once a month, to stay on top of mould but asides from that we don’t do anything different
Chlorine is like bleach, the smell makes me gag. I am going to try lemon juice though apparently it works quite well and no chemical smell 😊 thank you for your suggestion though
Your daughter needs a bed & bedroom furniture, you didn't even wash the inside of the toilet never rinsed a cloth to wash the bathroom, you can buy good paint on ebay & house furniture, honestly I'd consider redecorating the house, dont want to sound harsh but thats not a proper clean, smoking in the bedroom or house BIG NO, ive got a long haired German Shepherd lives lin the house my house is spotless
@@fionamort5837 redecorating is something we are doing, we have settled on paint colours etc and we are just waiting to get the funds together to be able to start. The toilet I leave the cleaner down for as long as possible and then clean it off, just the way I’ve always done it and as for clean cloths in the bathroom I can assure you I don’t use the same one for everything. I have multiple cloths and dusters many the same colour. Just because you don’t see something happening during the video doesn’t mean it isn’t happening 🙂. As for my daughters bed as I’ve said many times before she has her own money and if she wanted could get herself a bed. There isn’t much room for furniture in her room and I’ve offered many times to redecorate her room but she won’t let me. As a grownup how she keeps her room is really up to her
why so many horrible comments ffs ! i remember having a mattress on the floor for a while its fine dont judge how others live there lives its not nice !
@@traceyjane4288 thank you for that comment. Research has shown it’s actually good for you to sleep on the floor. Like you I have slept on a mattress on the floor. My father still sleeps on a mattress on the floor and he is in his 60s.
Does Del smoke roll up tobacco or branded cigarettes? I always find when someone smokes roll up tobacco it’s a lot less ‘smelly’ but then that’s just tobacco and not the hundreds of chemicals they use in the making of cigarettes and heaven knows what goes into vapes.😮
i prefer to do all the cleaning myself and my hubby knows that if i ask him to do something he would he works full time and iam not working at the moment
I think that’s the thing isn’t finding the balance. Your husband gets days off work, there’s no days off from housework. Asking him to help out every so often means you also get a little bit of a rest
@@robinanna5531 She’s not a parent causing any harm, so why are you so concerned about someone else’s business? It’s not like we know her daughter in real life.
@@RaquelTrotter I felt less alone, my 19 year old is the same….only with clothes, leaving dishes in her room. She’s a great/responsible worker outside of the home….not so much AT home!
@@GreatMindsSeekTruth I guess we have different ideas about privacy. And that's okay. It's not just us watching, people in their own life may well stumble across this, or know about it. I'm not aiming to be judgemental, it's just if my husband spoke about me that way for instance, it'd feel off to me. I think in future years we'll all think quite differently about what we share online. 🤷♀️ That said, it is what it is, no hate, just doesn't feel right to me, one human. It doesn't have to matter particularly.
We have glass cups for guests but we only ever drink from mugs. It’s a good idea though I might look to change them all to glass as you can get some big glass mug style cups

Hi new subbie. Enjoy your content. Your daughter’s showing that her issue is with you unfortunately. The fact that she will do it for “daddy” shows her lack of compassion towards the person who loves her probably the most. She knows that you’ll do it so why bother. Do you have talks about her plans for the future or does she just avoids any type of communication with you? I’d like to know how she handles herself around others. Very sad for you.

Sry to say this but in Alberta Canada we dont have flees its too cold and dry here for them
@angelakoch5083 sounds lovely. I hate the darn things
❤❤❤😊
You look very lively today. Happy Monday. Take care of yourself
Thank you, I will. You to
@@RaquelTrotter You work so hard it's commendable you are the only one you keep your surroundings so tidy and clean I love it it's a learning point people can learn a lot from you I'm proud
Why has yr daughter no bed!
@@donnabyrne-gi8ry her bed base broke a while back, we were going to replace it but she prefers sleeping on the floor. She takes after my self and her grandfather. In my teens I slept on the floor and still to this day sometimes still prefer it. My father, Alyssa’s grandfather sleeps on the floor most nights.
@@RaquelTrotter Oh ok I understand it's ok of course girl is like you why won't I be so like you you are very good a calm a man so sweet
I suffer from fibromyalgia & chronic inflammation I've got a 26yr old son, a parrot & a German Shepherd who all live in the house, i constantly clean to stay on top of things even though am so i take breaks in between also my son helps, i also do the gardening, you need to get your partner & kids to help you, you can also go to charity shops for good furniture
For the most part I prefer to do things myself but they do help when I ask especially if I’m going from a late to an early shift
@@RaquelTrotter you prefer to do all the housework yourself!!! Then why complain then?🙄🙄
Hi can ask a question. My daughter just decided she wants to sleep on the floor with mattress. Have you put anything under it for protection. Im sure heard it before to stop mould ect . Take care x
We don’t have anything under her bed and we have never put anything under the mattress any of the other times we’ve done it. You do need to flip it regularly, we do it once a month, to stay on top of mould but asides from that we don’t do anything different
@@RaquelTrotter thanks for your reply. Think my daughter got idea from somewhere. 😂😂 Take care xx
@@decluttering-queen1898 there’s actually a lot of studies that say it can be quite good for you to sleep on the floor
@@RaquelTrotter my daughter says you suppose to sleep better aswell. Who knows xx. X
For tea stanes use chlorine, its fast.
Chlorine is like bleach, the smell makes me gag. I am going to try lemon juice though apparently it works quite well and no chemical smell 😊 thank you for your suggestion though
we love watching tv in bed its far more comfy
@@traceyjane4288 it really is so much better than watching tv on the sofa
Your daughter needs a bed & bedroom furniture, you didn't even wash the inside of the toilet never rinsed a cloth to wash the bathroom, you can buy good paint on ebay & house furniture, honestly I'd consider redecorating the house, dont want to sound harsh but thats not a proper clean, smoking in the bedroom or house BIG NO, ive got a long haired German Shepherd lives lin the house my house is spotless
@@fionamort5837 redecorating is something we are doing, we have settled on paint colours etc and we are just waiting to get the funds together to be able to start. The toilet I leave the cleaner down for as long as possible and then clean it off, just the way I’ve always done it and as for clean cloths in the bathroom I can assure you I don’t use the same one for everything. I have multiple cloths and dusters many the same colour. Just because you don’t see something happening during the video doesn’t mean it isn’t happening 🙂. As for my daughters bed as I’ve said many times before she has her own money and if she wanted could get herself a bed. There isn’t much room for furniture in her room and I’ve offered many times to redecorate her room but she won’t let me. As a grownup how she keeps her room is really up to her
One drop of bleach in that cup and stains gone
@@ArianaGuerin-pt2bz I don’t like using bleach if I don’t have to. A good scrubbing and I know it’s clean and stain free
No wonder you dont get any work done, you make things difficult.
@ArianaGuerin-pt2bz I do indeed make somethings difficult for myself but that’s the way I do things and I have my reasons for doing them that way
why so many horrible comments ffs ! i remember having a mattress on the floor for a while its fine dont judge how others live there lives its not nice !
@@traceyjane4288 thank you for that comment. Research has shown it’s actually good for you to sleep on the floor. Like you I have slept on a mattress on the floor. My father still sleeps on a mattress on the floor and he is in his 60s.
@@RaquelTrotter 😁
your welcome x
Does Del smoke roll up tobacco or branded cigarettes? I always find when someone smokes roll up tobacco it’s a lot less ‘smelly’ but then that’s just tobacco and not the hundreds of chemicals they use in the making of cigarettes and heaven knows what goes into vapes.😮
@@pam14321 he smoked roll ups. I must agree, rolling tobacco is a lot less smelly than the Taylor made cigarettes
i prefer to do all the cleaning myself and my hubby knows that if i ask him to do something he would he works full time and iam not working at the moment
I pull sofa out once a week usually on a Wednesday
I think that’s the thing isn’t finding the balance. Your husband gets days off work, there’s no days off from housework. Asking him to help out every so often means you also get a little bit of a rest
I want to one day get to a point where I can do my daily, weekly and monthly tasks as planned like that
Why are you telling us about your child's medical history/possible diagnoses and habits? This doesn't feel right.
@@robinanna5531 I’m not telling you anything private but people have concerns and have asked so I thought I would address it
@@RaquelTrotter I guess if your kid is okay with us knowing about her mental health status then cool?
@@robinanna5531
She’s not a parent causing any harm, so why are you so concerned about someone else’s business?
It’s not like we know her daughter in real life.
@@RaquelTrotter
I felt less alone, my 19 year old is the same….only with clothes, leaving dishes in her room.
She’s a great/responsible worker outside of the home….not so much AT home!
@@GreatMindsSeekTruth I guess we have different ideas about privacy. And that's okay.
It's not just us watching, people in their own life may well stumble across this, or know about it.
I'm not aiming to be judgemental, it's just if my husband spoke about me that way for instance, it'd feel off to me.
I think in future years we'll all think quite differently about what we share online. 🤷♀️
That said, it is what it is, no hate, just doesn't feel right to me, one human. It doesn't have to matter particularly.
👍👋.....
And drink the tea from a teaglass not from a mugg
most people drink from mugs i do !
We have glass cups for guests but we only ever drink from mugs. It’s a good idea though I might look to change them all to glass as you can get some big glass mug style cups
I follow you from the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia 🇸🇦
I hope to organize your home with Shein, an inexpensive and beautiful application for organizing, storing, cleaning and home decor. An application suitable for people with limited income, and we follow you in this regard.❤❤❤❤
Your partner is smoking down stairs you can see the smoke on the screen,
He is indeed
Your a bit slow replying now that's a month ago, you also said he only smokes in the bedroom, disgusting
@@RaquelTrotter new pillows don't cost a fortune the money he spends on cigarettes you could buy new ones there absolutely disgusting & really flat I've threw better out 🙄
This is not house please
It’s a house, it’s not yet a home. I’m working on it.
The bed covers are old... and choose from Shein new covers and modern wall papers with suitable paint... 👋 We will enjoy with you the new change 🆕😢😢😢
Don't keep spiders..And his skull in the kitchen... really annoying.
We'll be following you ❤ watching your routine
❤❤😢The dining room is green. The color must be changed to modern and modern colors. And the curtains must be long. Even though you 🤩 have a wonderful and clean 🏠 home
This not bed room stor e
It’s a work in progress
Hi new subbie. Enjoy your content. Your daughter’s showing that her issue is with you unfortunately. The fact that she will do it for “daddy” shows her lack of compassion towards the person who loves her probably the most. She knows that you’ll do it so why bother. Do you have talks about her plans for the future or does she just avoids any type of communication with you? I’d like to know how she handles herself around others. Very sad for you.
@@mariacastillo3090 we talk quite often about future plans, her career, her family life once she flies the nest.
