[quote=Anonymous]After going back to work five times a day, I am really drowning in the housework. Work a full day to drive kids to activities, to making dinner, laundry, dishes, lunches for the next day…. And start it all over again the next day.

Kids are 9 and 12, they help. DH is involved, he helps.

But I feel like there is still more to do than all four of us can get done and not go insane.

There are definitely days that I can get it all done but then I am not exercising, I am stressed, I am tired and overall unhappy.

So to my question, what have other dual income, two working parents outside the home invested in to help with housework?

We have a maid that comes twice a week but that’s not enough lately.

Is anyone else getting help with laundry with like a wash and fold service, or have someone come into the home and do more than the biweekly deep cleaning? I don’t know, I just need some ideas because right now I feel like I am constantly doing housework and still not keeping up. [/quote]
