[quote=Anonymous]We only have one kid, we both work FT out of the house and my H's job is very inflexible leaving most weekday child things to me. Cook - I do dinner prep while DD is eating since it will be 2+ hours until H comes home and he and I can eat. Mostly I do something on the grill so I create a marinade for the next night's dinner and set the dish to marinate overnight, then I chop and prep that night's veggies. Clean - whatever time I have leftover after dinner prep I use to clean the kitchen up. Then I have one smaller task on my list to do each night after H gets home and is putting DD to bed (or now, after I workout), usually it's clean one of the 3 toilets and sinks, take out the recycling if it's trash day, or sweep the kitchen/foyer/hallway downstairs. The heavy lift cleaning (dusting, vacumming, mopping, yard work) is left for the weekends and we divide and conquer while she naps. Workout - Ha. I got out of that habit when DD was born. At nearly 4 I'm just picking it back up again. I am trying to go jogging 3-4 times a week for 30-40 minutes. So I go Saturdays/Sundays and Friday mornings since that's the one day a week my H can help with pick up/drop off at daycare and then I pick one night during the week and suck it up and do it while he's putting her to bed and I get him to cook whatever dinner I prepped for that night. I have also been getting up 15 minutes early every day to do abs before I have to get DD and myself out the door to daycare and work.[/quote]
