FWIW, I'm a SAHM, and our house is a disaster after the weekend. I have no idea why, but having my DH around and both kids home for the whole weekend just generates a mess -- even though during the week I'm home with a toddler and an older kid who is only in preschool part-time. I usually take Monday mornings to do a massive amount of cleaning while my older kid is in preschool and my younger is playing and helping me around the house. It might just be that things build up when they're all there, and they aren't used to taking care of it themselves because you are. Sorry -- it's frustrating, but you can't do much about it besides wish they were a bit more gracious.
