[quote=Anonymous]That's funny PP minus one.  As  a SAHM my feelings are the complete opposite of yours about errands!

Which just goes to show you that we all work towards what works for us!

I actually *enjoy* errands.  I take them at a slow pace, including walking instead of driving whenever convenient, and chatting with people along the way.  It reminds me more of daily life when I lived abraod, actually.  It takes more time than being super hyper efiicient "Get' ' er done!" but I prefer that way of life.

So I suspect if I were to have a conversation with you in my neighborhood, about how busy my life was, I would not be one of the SAHMs you hear complaining about how much time all my errands were taking me during the week.   But that's because my kids are in school at least a few hours a day so I have the time to go out, do my thing, and enjoy life while doing it!  Which of course, I'm sure you enjoy as well, in your own way.

I DEFINITELY prefer to have the basic maintenance of life stuff done by the weekend.  I HATE it when I  have to go grocery shopping on the weekends or do laundry.  Just hate it.   The shops are so crowded and no one is having any fun.   I do make the whole family clean on Sat mornings because that's what we do (and we don't have a weekly cleaning service or help with laundry).  Kids are learning to do their own laundry and of course DH does his share --- but I really try to get it all done so our weekends are totally work free (except for cleaning with the kids -- which actually takes MORE time but I feel like it is teaching them important life skills.)[/quote]
