[quote=Anonymous]I'm a full-time working single mom with 100% custody every day of the year, so let me give you my perspective... First, you need to get your DC to play independently. Thank the lord my child loves to play alone, though I am frequently updated on what the toys are doing.

Make a list of the household things that you can let slide, mine are:

-toys don't need to be picked up if company isn't expected
-my clean laundry can sit in the hamper in my closet
-dishes can occasionally sit (rinsed but not soaped) in the sink

Then things you cannot let slide; I cook almost every night, wash my floors several times a week, and have twice weekly household help. My house must always be super clean, though it isn't always as orderly as I would like, and having someone who helps on the weekdays really lightens my load on the weekends and in the evenings.

I don't do laundry, the housekeeper does it all, which is a tremendous help and something you should also consider. Believe me, don't drop a day at work to clean at home; there is always more to do and having someone else reduce the load is the best way to go about it.
