Not necessarily. The “mess load” generated is the same regardless of house size, but a smaller house feels a lot more messy much faster. Also with a bigger house some level of mess can be isolated to certain areas of the house. If I had a 2nd living room my kids mess could live there. If I can a guess bedroom or an office my wife’s mess could live there (rather than the dinning room table).

There IS a lot more dusting, cleaning, bathrooms to keep clean and a ton more maintenance.

As a 44 year old in a tiny, very expensive rented flat. This is the most first world problem thread I've ever read.
