20 Hilariously Spot-On Tweets About Rage Cleaning

Cleaning is an everyday part of every parent’s existence. We clean the living rooms, kids’ rooms, kitchen, laundry room, bathrooms… everything.

Yes, sometimes our kids or spouses help. But if your family is anything like mine, their definition of “clean” is something very different, and you end up having to re-clean it anyway.

And this everyday cleaning can quickly escalate into what’s referred to as “rage cleaning.” Rage cleaning is what happens when you constantly clean up after your family who, as it turns out, is perfectly capable of cleaning up after themselves.

Not to mention the kids:

And according to these super scientific astrology tweets, you might have a specific style of cleaning based on your sign:
