[quote=Anonymous]Parent 1: works from home full time, travels at least 2-3 overnights a month, sometimes as long as a week at a time. Does all yard work, does all finances

Parent 2: stays home with 5 yo (preschool 3 afternoons) 2 year old
Watches 10 month old 4 days/week, worked at night 2 nights/week
Does all housework, shopping etc.

With 3 small children at home most of the week P2 is overwhelmed with keeping up with the housework. First level is kept presentable (vaccumed/dusted/floors and bathroom cleaned) it is a constant battle each and everyday to just keep the first level picked up and cleaned.

Second level is a mess, clothes in laundry baskets not put away, only gets dusted/vaccumed when it becomes unbearable, bathrooms cleaned more regularly than everything else.

P1 feels P2 should have the whole house clean and orderly all of the time. 
P2 would love for the house to be clean 100% of the time but just does not see how it is possible without some type of help

Thoughts? Suggestions? Advice?
