Why do people buy homes and not keep them clean or maintained???

I bought a home in an upper-middle class neighborhood. It LOOKED pretty clean and well kept, but after I moved in I realised that it was only cleaned well enough to appear clean and apperently little maintence was done on it. I have spent months dealing with all of this (full time) and have a ton more to do. And we had friends move into the same neighborhood recently and theirs is in worse shape then ours!


What is wrong with people? Do they have no pride? I can't beleive they raised their children is such messes.Why do people buy homes and not keep them clean or maintained???
Always the simplest way to clean anything is to clean as you go. But so many people would rather do a halfway job occasionally than bother to do a little bit along. Guess it gives them more Television watching time, or something. I don't understand it myself. But I'm with you on this one! Turn OFF the TV and get busy!Why do people buy homes and not keep them clean or maintained???
Becuz they are LAZY!
Unfortunately, many many people have no pride.. they do not care.. and live like pigs. I do not know what else to tell you but that is the way it is.
Because they spent too much money on their expensive house, so they could impress everyone, that they couldnt afford a maid.
obviously you dont know how hard keeping a family house clean is. its better than no house and if it LOOKS nice thats what matters when people see it.


get over it and hire a maid if you live in a wealthy neighborhood
people can be slobs anytime whether they buy a house,car , or clothes, its just there nature
When you become a parent then you will realize that there is no such thing as ';free time';. Thus you will have to find 20 minutes per week to quickly clean that house so that it won't become a total disaster.
