If you’re embarrassed about the messy state of your house, it’s safe to say you’re not alone. And whether you’re becoming truly overwhelmed by the situation — or you’re just sick of no one else in the family helping out (husbands who don’t notice that the bathroom trash has been overflowing for days, we’re looking at you) — you’ll find someone on the same page in the roundup below. Plus, read what people have to say about mom friends, “savage” toddlers, overly involved in-laws, and more.
