Can I ask how and when you get household chores done? Haha. Eager to see if I can change my methods
this territory is moderated
My days are often wire to wire. Between kid time, kid bedtime. house cleanup, I’m booked till 9PM
A lot of things get done on the weekend.
Working from home also helps

I’m going to remember the phrase wire to wire. Sounds like me lol

Coming back to this to say more -
I love having kids, and they make life much more complicated.
My whole (week)day looks something like this:
5:00 wakeup 5:30 gym 6:45 home, shower make breakfast other prep 7:15? kids wake up 8:30 kids out of house or I drive breath 9:00 work starts mostly work and some household stuff 4:00 stop work kids already home chaos 5:00 eat dinner dishes, etc kid baths play with kids 7:00-8:00 kid bedtime 8:00 dishes, lunch prep, get ready for tomorrow 8:30 kid wakes up 9:00 kid goes back to bed 10:00 goal is to be asleep
Having checklists has helped at different points, when I feel that we just can't keep it all together with what needs to happen in the mornings or evenings.
Doing sufficient prep in the evening, for tomorrow, makes a huge difference.
