[quote=Anonymous]OP, I'm an MB.  Here's my two cents - I do not expect the house to be tidy at all times.  That is flat out impossible w/ kids, let alone two toddlers.  I like it to be tidy when I get home and I try to make sure it's tidy when you arrive for work.  Anything in between is a free for all.

If you are doing any level of deep cleaning at all - god bless you.  You make my life infinitely easier and I soooo appreciate it.  Whatever schedule or system works for you to make that possible is more than fine with me.

However long my kids are happy playing together without you is great.  The more the better.  I'd be shocked if they can do an hour, but if they can (and you have eyes on them) that is fantastic.

Also - make them help you.  Give the little one a dust rag, give the older one a swiffer.  Teach them how to do it, how to help you, make it fun.  (Obviously this might complicate things for you and slow you down - if it's too big a hassle then forget the idea.)

Basically OP - I think you're worrying too much.  Unless your MB is cray cray you are a gem and she knows it.  She also knows all too well the challenges of maintaining the house w/ toddlers.[/quote]
