[quote=Anonymous]OP here.  Also, to clarify, the housework all gets done, but I often don't do it during the day because I use my son's one 2 hour nap per day to either nap myself if I'm tired from the morning's activity, or do my own projects.  After my husband gets home from work (6 pm), he takes over childcare until bedtime (7:30 pm) and that's when I get most of the housework done, and after bedtime as well.  I love to clean and do housework so I consider this part of my alone time.

The kitchen/dishes I clean while my toddler is finishing lunch.  But I don't really get a chance to get laundry done or tidy/straighten until I have a period of time to myself.  I don't really see how anyone can get a lot of housework done while taking care of a young toddler at the same time.  We are out all morning at various activities, come home and I feed him lunch, then naptime, and then I have the afternoon and that entire time is devoted to entertaining my son.  Also, after the morning's activity (gym class or playgroup or whatever) I don't feel like going out again in the afternoon to do errands.  This is mainly because of the wear and tear on my back from the repetitive lifting and carrying (my 14 month old weighs over 30 pounds and it is very hard on my back when we are out).[/quote]
