So for me it's a time thing. I imagine a person with children has some serious constraints on being a cleanaholic as well.

Yeah, but you're supposed to teach those kids how to clean so they can help out. Mine aren't thrilled about it, but they sure can clean up when they have to!

I remember a "clean house" episode with a mom and a college age daughter; the daughter had never been able to have a friend visit, and at the time she was in college to be a pianist but couldn't have their house piano tuned because of the mess. No reason at all why that girl couldn't have pitched in and hauled away some of the crap herself. I just don't get it.
