[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Working mom here - 30 h per week. Chore list given here is vastly oversimplified. My husband constantly travels and I am always stressed about running the household smoothly. I wish I could just focus on my job rather than always having house stuff to worry about. 3 kids with all their dr. appts + dentist visits. They don't get sick too often but still have multiple dr visits due to sports injuries or something random like maybe strep throat or maybe not. I have my own appointments (dentist, OB, mammogram, eyes, physician. Kids often have something at school like an open house or parent breakfast or field trip (youngest is in ES). This does not include servicing my car or if something is wrong with car. House maintenance and repairs also have to be dealt with. We also get family and friends visiting who always stay with us. I feel bad not seeing them and just bolting to the office. Occasional coffee with a friend just to maintain contact. Shuttling kids around to activities all afternoon and sometimes the times of the activities randomly change (winter soccer for travel team). I find juggling everything incredibly challenging.[/quote]

You only work 30 hours a week. Just plan as best you can.[/quote]
