[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]When DH and I agreed that I will SAHM, I was adamant that I will continue to outsource, cleaning and yard work. This actually enabled me to be a calm, happy mom to my kids and I could use my energy in providing the appropriate enrichment to them at home. In other words, it was more important for me to take them to the park, zoo, museum then cleaning the bathroom. Even though a clean, uncluttered home where we can live in an organized manner and entertain was essential for us and for our kids mental, emotional, social, physical growth. [/quote] To continue...OP, in your case, without any help, you and your DH, both will continue to put in time towards tackling chores on the weekends and after work. You will only be able to tackle a small amount of chores if you are also providing full care to your kids. Regardless of if your kids are in day care or home, they still need to be looked after, fed, cleaned, played with, read to etc. [/quote]
