[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]When my kids were older and in school -   after I finished with cleaning, laundry, cooking, exercise, grooming, catching up with friends and family on phone -    I spent my time in researching and making enrichment lesson-plans for them for when they came back from school. I also planned their weekend activities,  did prep work for hosting our friends, found out opportunities for my family and DH&I, worked on planning our vacations and trips, managed our finances, shopped for clothes etc, managed out home remodelling and improvement projects and managed our landscaping needs etc.

When my DH came back, there was no major chores or 'honey do' lists for him.  He just had to spend time with the kids and me.  My kids came back and had to spend time playing in the neighborhood, in their EC classes, instrument practice, and then sit with me or DH for enrichment/acceleration for one or two hours during the week.

I also squeezed in a nap for myself each day.

This sounds like what I do.

Making sure my kid has everything lined up for her can take a surprising amount of work. I also invest quite a lot in my family's social network. And I didn't realize that I read like a beast until I learned how little other people actually read.[/quote]
