[quote=Anonymous]I work hybrid and my DH works fully remote. Kids are 11, 9, and 3. I was MUCH more tired than I am now until about six months ago. Now I just think about my future self most moments and that gives me the drive and motivation to keep working. It IS a lot of work. I would love a cleaner but everyone I’ve hired kind of sucks and it makes me mad to spend so much for a middling job. I would say trying to keep on top of the kitchen, laundry, and floors/bathrooms are what wear me out the most- not as much physically but just the knowledge that these tasks are relentless. But yes it’s very tiring! It’s an outdated system and the 40 hour week is pretty arbitrary. I am fortunate to naturally be high energy and Type A: genuinely don’t know how I would function without both of these characteristics. [/quote]
