I'm probably the luckiest (laziest?) 'housewife'... DD is in bed by 6-6:30 (I still feed her to sleep so we just lay on her bed and it usually only takes 5 minutes now that she doesn't have a day sleep), DP does the cooking every night (by choice, he wants to be a chef and loves to cook) and does the dishes when he gets up with DD in the morning (letting me sleep in till he has to go for work at 8). We also spend most of the day outside so the house never really gets too messy and I always enlist my little helper about half hour before DP gets home to help straighten things out I always do laundry etc during the day with DD, she loves to sweep or press the buttons on the washing machine, hand me pegs etc.

But yeah, once DD is in bed, we kick back and relax. She does still usually wake once overnight but that is almost always after we go to bed so we have a good few hours to just chat, watch TV, game or enjoy an adult only desert haha.
