A womans work is never done.

I have a friend who works full time and comes home and works full time. Her hubbs tries to help, but She is the one who does laundry, cooking, dishes. My day starts at 9am and ends at about mid night. I don't work outside the home, and I just don't see how working moms do it all. The house is like a never ending job. How do you girls get everything done?

I have a husband who does laundry, dishes and gives the boys a bath. He rules in those departments ( and a few others )

My husband helps out some but the best thing I ever did was set the expectation that our children were also responsible for helping keep up the house and yard. I still do the bulk of things for the most part, but life became much happier in the home once I involved the kids in day to day chores. Both know how to do all aspects of cleaning and they are each responsible for their own laundry.

I pretty much handle everything unless Lee breaks bad. I don't know why, but I like it. Everything is perfectly my way and that makes me happy. When I work late or stay overnights Big Popppa and teh kids handle everything. Guess I have no complaints.

Basically, you bust your ass. When I had three kids at home and worked full time (always have), I had a lot more energy. Now that I'm getting close to 50, some things aren't as important as they used to be. Hubby has done his own laundry since about a week after we got married. He takes care of the lawn, I do the gardens and the housework and we pretty much split the cooking, i.e., I'll do the veggies and stuff, he grills. We've been married 27 years this year and it's working out pretty well. He was also very involved when the kids were little. The housework has always been my responsibility though, but he is not a slob so it works.

You definitely get the award for Mom & Dad of the year. You have to share it with 1bdz, though.

What about all the single moms?
