[quote=Anonymous]We have a similar situation to OP and similar HHI. Kids are 5 and 8. Both are old enough to help unload and load the dishwasher and help fold and put away laundry. Their rooms must be picked up before bed and stuff can't be left and scattered throughout the house. It doesn't have to be perfect but can't be a disaster zone.

DH and I never eat together during the week. The kids and I eat easy meals weekdays and he eats leftovers late. We also split shifts so he can do the mornings and I can get them home by 5. I'm debating finding a sitter to help with activities this upcoming school year as my younger one wants to start sports and scouts. I may need help driving but am always concious about not over scheduling. Right now I limit them to 1 activity or sport each not including their martial arts after care. We don't use SACC because they would sit instead of being active.

We have cleaners twice a month and a service to mow the lawn. Money well spent. One of us does the grocery shopping on sat or sun night after the kids go to bed. [/quote]
