[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]No it’s not normal.

You either do a bunch of stuff that is not necessary or are super inefficient.[/quote]

I mean, this completely depends on the age of the children. I have a 5, 4 and 1 year old. I assure you there isn't a minute of free time in my week. [/quote]

NP, I agree with this. I have a full time job and 3 kids (ages 8, 6, and 3). Life is busy and I do feel like I go from work to kids to life upkeep.

Luckily I WAH so I can throw some laundry in and place a grocery delivery order during the day. We outsource cleaning and lawn service. And I do eke out little bits of free time (like a girls’ night out or date night here and there). I also read for about 30 min before bed. But wouldn’t say I have gobs of time for hobbies and free time.

But it’s a phase. Someday I won’t be folding little socks and spending all weekend at youth sports games. It’s easier to just embrace it as how this season of life is going. It helps that DH is in the trenches with me so I have a supportive partner to do this stuff with and who I can swap out with as needed for little breaks.

I don’t think I’m inefficient. I just have a lot of laundry, camp forms, IEP meetings, eldercare, work demands, etc. that I wouldn’t be able to handle if I were not efficient.[/quote]
