[quote=Anonymous]I have 3 kids-
8 year old does dishes
6 year old folds laundry, puts it away, and empties trash cans. 
3 year old doesn't really do much, but there are little things like feeding the dogs, clearing the table.
DH cooks, mows the lawn and fixes stuff (there's actually a TON to fix all the time)

We don't have a cleaning lady. I really like to clean so I probably spend 2 hours a day cleaning. It's not easy. Something that helps is getting off work earlier. I work 6-3:30. It gives me enough time to do things before picking up the kids. I do have to go to sleep earlier, but I wasn't exactly full of energy after 10pm anyways.

Zero telework for any reason whatsoever is killing us. I have a $$$ appliance being delivered today that requires signature so I guess I will take half the day off. Joy.

What I struggle with the most is cooking and baths. Cooking because everyone whines about anything we make and baths because they all scream and it takes forever. Wish I could outsource either.
