[quote=Anonymous]First of all, I don’t see how you can be “splitting” the weekend chores when your list has meal prep, laundry and cleaning. What the heck is he doing? So my primary response is to check your chore balance cause it must be off. Beyond that: 1) Try breaking up the day a bit. Day of endless childcare? Slog. Day of endless chores? Slog. Day with some of each? Much more appealing. 2) Lower your standards. There have been a few great threads on this lately. I think it applies to you. A lot of what you’re doing is optional if you really think about it. 3) Specifically, I would only wash linens monthly. 4) Get a cleaning service for as often as you can afford, and even if that’s monthly, STOP cleaning in between besides post-dinner cleanup. 5) Throw away or donate half the toys. Then put half of what’s left away and rotate toys out monthly. Picking up and putting away every toy in the house with two kids those ages should take 10-15 mins max. 6) Simpler dinners. [/quote]
