[quote=Anonymous]1. Get off social media. It is toxic to always only see the polished up versions of people’s lives.

2. Do those friends live near the mountains so it makes sense to have a season pass and just be “what we do” all winter long?

3. Most likely they prioritize cleaning and decluttering lower.

What do I do to keep sane: 
1. Just clean less. Monthly house cleaner. Kids do sinks and their rooms and help with house pick up each week as their chores. But the floors are cleaned maybe twice a month and sheets prolly once a month.

2. meals are all ones that take roughly half hour or less to make. Kids lunches are about the same main meal all the time with just veg/fruit carried

3. Before and after care sitters allow us to avoid the drop off and pick up craziness and mean they can start the oven or put water on to boil when needed. (Nanny shared when kids were little and believe that is a HUGE simplifier for the crazy little kid years.)

4. Divide and conquer a LOT. Let’s us get more done with kids going in opposite directions plus a bit more relax time.

5. Ignore most weekends the Honey-Do list of constant small fix it and fix up projects that suck time. [/quote]
