So as a parent schedule I just do everything I can when I’m home during the week whether it be when my daughter’s sleeping or if my fiance is holding our daughter. That way the weekend I have some sort of relaxation. I know it doesn’t always work that way but, in my mind it helps me feel as though I get a break and have a weekend like the rest of the world if that makes sense. Kinda makes it so I don’t feel as tho I’m working 25/7 400 days of the year 😂 yes i exaggerated those numbers

So laundry I’ll do once a day or do it all in one day and focus on just that.

Kitchen is cleaned nightly because I hate waking up to a dirty kitchen and the rest of the house is cleaned once a day!

I work from home, and have 4 dogs, baby on the way. Currently, while.i work, in between meetings i take a 5 min break (so im not staring at a screen all day) and start a load of laundry, or run a load of dishes. I have a roomba that vacuums the floors for me daily and i mop once a week (will probably mop more when the baby comes)

I tidy up the house every single night before bed and I deep clean on Sundays. I try to maintain laundry during the week but sometimes I just get it done in one day typically Sundays. It’s easier for me to clean up as I go (do all the dishes after cooking, wipe everything down, etc.). I do the bathroom before I shower. The bedroom is where I struggle but I just tidy up even if that means I’m staring at a basket of laundry all week. But once laundry is done I put it all away.

I have a pretty awesome chore system set up with my kids - rather than allowance I do points. They have 3 chores each a day. They get 1 point for completing their chores by dinner (or noon on non school days) if they do that for a second day in a row they get 2 points (so on so forth) they loose a half point for each chore not done by bed time, and get a half point if they finish their chores after the full point time.

I also deduct and add points for good behavior or bad behavior.

They can spend their points to get a new toy, do a craft, go fishing, tablet time.

Is this normal?

Is it just my husband that does this? He is able to work from home via his computer and in the mornings and evenings he is on there doing his job. When he is done for the day he tends to stay in the room and either play video games or watch something. He will occasionally come out and play with the girls for a few minutes and that’s it but when I really need him he says he is busy. My daughters are both 1 year old now and I am just wondering how much involvement should he have with them now?
Idk if this is the norm or not…..

Saying NO to buying toys etc

5 year old is getting really envious of others. He is obsessed with items that other kids have at school. I am pestered daily to buy these things in a different style when we already have 3 others. I have seen parents just buying stuff their kid likes which I don't necessarily agree with even when i can afford it. How do you deal with it?

Identity crisis?

Am I the only sahm who feels like they have lost their identity??? I don’t make money for my family, when I used to make great money. But I refuse to drop my under a year old baby off with strangers.
My husband works so much. But I have no control over bringing in money and I’m a control freak type of person! I feel l like I’m losing my grip because we are kind of broke, but day care would only eat up my income anyways! So what’s the point. I’m a workaholic and now I’m just a twitching bum.
I wish I could work from home but so far that’s a fake dream. I’m almost 9 months pp, and I just need to know these awful mood swings and depression will end soon! Send wine!

Daycare?

Thoughts on daycare?? Truly, I am SCARED to be leaving my kid for daycare. I literally do not trust anyone, not even family (they haven’t given me a reason it’s just trust issues on my end, you never know). He’s turning 3 and I’ve been a sahm the whole time but tbh my man doesn’t make enough for us to move out somewhere more calm . We live in a ‘not so safe’ area in LA and I’m just not used to living here so I just want us to give my son a better life and in order to speed up the process I would have to work.. I do lashes at home and I’d be open to take new clients so I wouldn’t have to look for work but I’m just scared to lose my license 😭
