[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Our parents in many cases worked fewer hours, had shorter commutes, and more family help. They were probably in better shape too, so more energetic.[/quote]

Oh yeah, [b]AND parenting is much more involved. The culture is to spend more quality time with your kids playing and reading and taking them to activities.[/b] Rather than brushing them off so you can clean.[/quote]

That's the fun stuff everyone should want to do though. If you don't want to read to your kids or play a game with them, that's a problem.

clean after they go to bed.[/quote]

What are your work hours like? Many, many people with more demanding jobs do more work after the kids go to bed. It's not just being lazy.[/quote]

Exactly! I log back on from 8:30-11 or 12. The last thing I want to do is prep for dinner that I then scramble to make when I rush home the next day. DH cleans after kidbedtime but he also logsback on. Then I get up 1-2x with a baby. F yea I’m looking to outsource as much chore work as possible and maximize time with kids.[/quote]
