[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I work outside of the home FT and our home looks ok, not pristine but ok.

I have a Roomba, without it I wouldn't be able to do it.

I wake up at 5-5:30 and do chores then before everyone wakes up.

Bathrooms are done a little bit here and a little bit there.

I take a day off each month to do a deeper cleaning.

You use up 12 of your vacation days a year to clean? That's intense, PP. That's on top of waking up early?  I am impressed that cleaning is such a priority for you. I don't know if these would work for everyone though.  Cleaning up the floor is the least of my worries.  It's staying on top of all the paper that comes into the house everyday, the huge amounts of laundry that needs to be done all the time, etc. [/quote]

Yes, I have a ton of vacation accumulated from a mishap of when I was on maternity leave, they were supposed to use it to cover my leave but didn't. I have a 25 days of vacation/days off a year, so I don't run out. I wake up early to read the paper and drink my coffee in peace, then take an hour to clean up, fold laundry, etc. I go to bed by 9:00, 9:30 at the latest.

I have a two year old and a 4 year old, when they are home before day care and in the evenings and weekends, I spend all my time enjoying them. We do chores together like folding laundry and cooking and putting toys away, but I really don't want to take time from them to spend cleaning.

And I like a clean enough house, we just bought it and it's the house of my dreams, so I like to keep it clean enough.

DH is working on kitchen renovations in the meantime, so he does his fair share. [/quote]
