As a parent of 4 kids (now grown), yes. It is never ending. The serene feeling comes when they are sleeping. Or when they finally start their own lives and you know you gave them the best.
Setting clear expectations and not giving in when they tug at your heart makes it easier in the long run.
Some mess is fine, like there’s a pile of laundry for me to fold and put away. Will anything bad happen if it is there tomorrow? Nope. So give yourself slack in some areas.
