[quote=Anonymous]You need to find life hacks for yourself to make it bearable. For example, I clean up the high chair 1x/day and that's after dinner/end of the day. Does it really matter that there are some crumbs in there? Or a leftover cheese that was flung to the floor. I'm the only one all day with DS and so long as I'm not stepping on it and tracking it around the house I sorta brush it underneath the table where it won't get tracked around the house and wait until the last meal of the day to do a final cleanup.
Better yet, 98% of the time, DS and I eat our meals outside. We sit on the front stoop and eat our toast and fruit for breakfast, we're at the playground usually for lunch so I bring food at eat at the picnic table, etc. 
So, we are out of the house for the messiest part of the day.
Other little short cuts are things like cleaning the bathroom while your kid is taking a bath. You get the picture.

Find a good routine too. That really helps everyone get through the day. For us, I set myself a deadline that we are out of the house by 10am. That gets the momentum going, keeps us both from going stir crazy, fresh air, stimulation, burns off energy, etc. [/quote]
