[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Sorry but it’s crazy with two helping kids, [b]full time jobs (ie you are out of the house all day) and a maid twice a week, that you are still drowning in chores[/b].  Something feels really off about this!  [/quote]

LOL. If you are out of the house the whole day, working a 9 to 5 job, you really don't have too much time to do all the household chores in a non-stressful way. When you get back from work, you are dealing with dinner and taking care of the kids needs also.  Do you think that working women have self-cleaning homes or that stay at home women mess up the house because they are home?

Running a household takes time.  Raising kids takes time. Going to work 9-5 takes time.  As a sahm, I also outsource and have an involved DH,  and becuase I am home we are able to run our household smoothly, raise the kids to our satisfaction, focus on relationships and our health - without overwhelming stress.  If I was working also life would have been frantic for all of us.

You don't understand that?

You are making less mess when you aren’t in the house.  For example, you aren’t making lunch.  You aren’t dirtying dishes for drinks and snacks.  Just as an example.  There’s no doubt that there is less mess when four people are out of the house during school/work hours than when they are at home (for example on weekends).

You don’t understand that?

And with a maid twice a week and kids that are old enough to do chores?

Yeah no, I dont understand it.
