[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous[b]]I'm both SAHM and WOHM [/b]since I'm teacher- and it's more overwhelming to be home because it feels like you should be doing something every single minute, but that's simply not possible.

For the broad picture:

Friday: clean the house so that it's clean for the weekend (and any possible guests who might come over)

Saturday: laundry

Sunday: put away clean laundry, make grocery shopping list

Monday: grocery shopping

Tuesday: general cleanup

Wednesday: laundry

Thursday: put away laundry, general cleanup

My mantra when I'm home for the summer is that dinner must be prepped while little one is napping- so dinner must be about 80% "done" by about 3 PM  (meaning everything is chopped, marinated, put together and in the fridge before she wakes up)

Unless there's a disaster involving poop, vomit, or paint, I don't do laundry unless it's one of my laundry days.  We have enough bathing suits to get by.

Not sure if it's helpful, but it's how I manage the full day at home with 2 kids (ages 7 and 2)

I'm just saying that I have a good idea of what it's like to be home all day, since I get 10 consecutive weeks of vacation when I'm home with both of my kids full time.  Plus I took off 3 entire years with the birth of my first, so I've been home with kids just as long as I've worked full-time with kids...?   I wasn't trying to derail your post, OP- just saying that I understand both the challenges of the working mom and the stay at home mom.  I don't consider either scenario to be easy.  [/quote]
