Would have had?

English is not my native language and I'm trying to get the sentence below to work, as it doesn't currently. It sounds wrong, but I'm not sure why.

What I want to say is that I would have been cleaning my room for hours before the sobbing people would come and that I don't look forward to either.

"Sobbing people in my living room, that i would have had to spend hours on cleaning, isn’t something to look forward to."

Can someone help me out?
