[quote=Anonymous]The solution is to pay a lot of money. However, I can't do that. I don't have that type of money. We used to have a cleaning lady every other week. But with number 3 on the way and daycare fo number 2? Um no.

I embrace fairly low standards, but certainly respectable. And I'm teaching my older child to do basic chores. I wish I had started earlier, but he's doing ok catching up. Tomorrow, he'll scrub out the (somewhat gross) tub and brush the toilet. I'll probably do the second round, as he's not particularly thorough, but it will be good enough.

Clean for an hour after the kids go to bed. No, don't think I will. But I find that if I play with my toddler for 10 minutes, she can entertain herself while I do basic housework tasks. I get it done when they're awake and not many other times unless I have a spare hour or so alone at home.

Parents are too damn hard on themselves. And work is getting more and more insane. I only work about 40 hours a week, which is a full-time job. This nonsense about 50+ hours just shows how anti-human our society has become. [/quote]
