[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Do not underestimate how many messes two kids make and need to clean up all day long when they are not in daycare. I could never get stuff like laundry and cooking done when I had two small kids home with me all day. It was very physically demanding and tiring keeping them safe and preventing them from ripping books, climbing furniture, whacking each other over the head or dumping out like 15 puzzles. I wasn’t busy in the sense of going a million places or needing to accomplish specific things. But lots of chores needed to wait until they went to bed. [/quote]

+1. Some people have lots of time, but some people don't. It's almost as if we're all raising different children with different household dynamics...  :wink:

But seriously, modern intensive parenting is probably a factor here. It's might also be part of the reason why this convo with friends bothered you so much OP, that you started two threads on it. We all need to relax and shed the guilt, but for many of us, doing so is not so intuitive.
