[quote=Anonymous] Mostly, I clean as I go. So, throughout the day, I put the dishes in the dishwasher, not let them pile up in the sink. If I have enough for a load, I run it and empty it before dinner so it's empty for the dinner dishes and I don't have a sink full of dishes when I wake up. I try to do the laundry/folding during naptime since it's quiet and I can sit down in front of the TV and fold it all mindlessly. But on big clean days, I use the TV to distract my kid and just get to it. I don't see anything wrong with that. I did that yesterday. Turned on some Christmas movies, went to town on the bathrooms and the kitchen, got the laundry sorted and started. The thing about being a SAHM is you ARE spending a lot of hours with your kids each week. So it's really not going to kill them if for two or three hours once a week you leave them to their own devices to clean. Really, I see this being a bigger issue for the WOHMs who don't want to use valuable weekend quality time with their kids to clean, but also can't afford a cleaning service. Your kids can entertain themselves 20-30 minutes a day for you to get little chores out of the way, trust me. [/quote]
