[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If you are a SAHD/SAHM and you can't do simple things like cook, do laundry, and keep a clean house, you should be fired from your job as a SAHD/SAHM.  Seriously.  [/quote]

I have a full time telecommuting job. I put in more than 60 hours a week, deal with hundreds of emails and dozens of complex calls a day and I easily Have extra time to do most of the housework and clean the house through the day. I also do all the cooking (although that's after work).

It takes moments to throw a load of laundry in, keep the sink full of water so you can wash a few dishes here and there, etc. wipe down part of the bathroom after using it, etc. If you make a plan to break down the tasks, keeping a household running is not that hard or time consuming. If you let it turn into a big task, it will overwhelm you.

DW is not holding her part if the house is that trashed every day. Some days, sure.  Cranky kids, just an off day - stuff happens. But not every day. That's a choice. [/quote]
