How do you balance cleaning, cooking and playing with your 3 yr old?
I feel guilty doing chores during the day but I'm a sahm and I need to keep the house clean and meals cooked. How do you guys do it? Do some only do chores when your little one is asleep? I'm a first time mom so I'm just lost lol I try to involve my little one but it's 50/50 on whether he participates lol

You don’t. Choose your most important task and do that during sleep or nap time. Make sure your 3 year old has allotted time to play by himself and you can fit somethings during that time too. Otherwise, you can’t do it all. He won’t be three forever. You will get a better system as he gets older. This year is not the time for perfection. Meal prep when you can. Clean when you can but anytime there is a choice between cleaning and sleeping choose sleeping. This too shall pass
I cook and play with my son, my home is a fucking mess lol
Thank you ladies, I feel a lot better because of your replies 🥹

I say when they’re asleep at night you can clean up a bit or wake up a little earlier while they’re still sleeping do laundry , or w.e you have to get done . Don’t have to tackle the chores all in one day , tackle the important or most tedious one first :) Also you can prep for your meals the night before so you can get your sleep
