Her daily cleaning recommendations include closing your children’s bedroom doors to hide the mess, letting your dog clean up crumbs and shoving items on the floor into a closet.
“I’ve been seeing all of these pins on Pinterest with daily cleaning schedules so that moms like you and me can make sure we always have a clean house,” Meredith explained in a Facebook video. “And while I think those are all well and good, I kind of don’t think they’re realistic.”
Meredith’s guide gets more hilarious as she explains her weekly cleaning recommendations, like this one for parents overwhelmed by mounds of laundry:

On a monthly basis, Meredith goes on to joke that busy parents may want to consider burning the house down because they’re so far behind.
