[quote=Anonymous]I work full time out of the house and I take our kid both to and from daycare, which is in my office, so I get no alone time to clean either. With my commute I am out of the house a minimum of 50 hours a week if I am able to only work 40 hours, which is rare.

As soon as we get home, I set my kid up with an activity (she's only 3 so not so great at entertaining herself) while I put her dinner together.  Then, while she eats I put together the components of dinner for me and H, and do a quick clean up of any dishes I made and wipe down counters. If she's still eating I will take that time to toss in a load of laundry or unload the dishwasher.

Next it's bath for her and then we do something together, read, play games, whatever, until H gets home. She is his the second he walks in the door so that I can finish the dinner for the two of us. He plays with her if there is time, otherwise it's straight upstairs for teethbrushing and stories while I finish dinner.

He and I eat, he cleans up any leftover dinner detrius and I take that time to either scrub a toilet, dust a room, or fold any laundry I was able to do the day before. As long as I do one of those things each night, that leaves only vacumming and moping and maybe some more laundry for the weekend. Laundry and mopping I do while she naps, vacuumming I do while the kid is occupied with H or doing her own thing. I have to do something every night or it gets out of control and I spend the whole weekend cleaning. H does the yardwork while she naps. [/quote]
