4 kids including my husband

Does anyone else just hate, I mean cant stand, despise, would rather go to the dentist then clean your house, especially if you have kids?
I love clean houses, newly moped floors, the smell of bathroom cleaner down the hall, a clean sink with no dishes, a carpet I can see.....but with four boys it never stays clean. 
Its really hard to keep up housework at times, just because every time I clean something, another part of the house is trashed. I spent a good two hours the other day cleaning out my young two's bedroom. I mean throwing broken toys away, chucking misplaced train tracks in the bag, picking up empty cups of juice and when I was done it sparkled. Its amazing now being a mom, what really tickles your fancy, like a clean kids room, you know what I mean. Before kids, I got a high when I bought a new purse, made me smile ear to ear. But its not that way anymore, kind of depressing and the saddest part about their room, at the end of the day it was messy all over again. 
Ok, Ok, they are young and maybe don't get it, but I think they're old enough to pick up their mess, they made it, NOT me. I cant tell you how many times I really deep cleaned their room and found socks and underwear in places where they shouldn't be. I'm trying to get thru to them when you have dirty clothes put them in the hamper not in your toy box. 
Deep down I start to think after the damage(literally) is done, it boils down to its an age thing....maybe? Give them time, they'll learn but having a teenager in the house as well, his room is more of a disaster then the young ones room. 
Ok, maybe its a young teenage boy, boys will be boys thing. Boys are messy, they stink, don't really pay attention to hygiene but then I look at my husband,he is the same way as all the others. I clean up after him all the time. I would think after 10 years he would get the picture of after using a towel, hang it back up. He's seen me do it thousands of times but almost about 97% of the time, I find them on the floor. I really don't know what he did before I came along. LOL. 
Any young boys reading this, you would be saints to your mother if you picked up after your self, out of everything you can do for her. Keep your shit in order and make sure you pick up your towels.
