If you try to wait to clean, you shouldn't. Just get it out of the way so you can hang out with friends and family. Also, don't yell at your kids if they don't want to clean, because you remember being a kid don't you? You didn't want to have to spend your weekend having to vacuum or do dishes of fold laundry did you?
I have a domestic goddess come once a month. She can help me with the big chores and deep cleaning with an understanding of the goal. The weekly chores are divided up and must be done by Friday. Decluttering a home makes this a much easier job. We read mags, newspapers, mail immediately and then transfer any information to the calendar and then recycle! Voila! We are ready for a weekend of projects, shopping or parties with a clean house.

It does hang over me like a dark cloud when I don't get everything done on time.
