[quote=Anonymous]Most of the food services have vegetarian options. Look to those for a few meals a week. We liked the food services but stopped because we thought they were a bit pricey and we had a years worth of recipes. We use those for meal planning now.

My family is a family of scatterers, we are good/ok about controlling it for the first 5 or 6 days after the cleaning people come and then are lazy. It drives both my DH and I a bit crazy but so much that we spend any time cleaning up once DS is in bed. We have the cleaners come in 2 times a month. DH was opposed to the idea at first so we made a chore chart for the two of us, this was before DS. After one month of not doing/hating to do his chores we hired a cleaning company that comes in twice a week. He insists on doing the yard stuff, I think we should have a service and flat out told him that I don't mow laws and the like. I try and help with the weeding in the vegetable garden because fresh veggies are yummy.

DS doesn't have my chores, he is 6. He does put away his own clothes and helps set the table and clear the table. He cleans up his toys, although one of our problem areas are his toys in one of the common rooms. He sets up these elaborate games and I am reluctant to tell him to break them down at night. The room is not used a ton so it is not a huge problem but there are things on the chair, couch, end tables, coffee table (think four different kid games, Keva blocks, and Thomas trains arranged in some pattern that makes sense to a 6 year old. Pokeman as the action figures. It is really quite creative)

More give yourself a break and take the time to breath.
