    NEVER!!

    Nah, I do a lot of mine at night. I do what i can when ds is awake- he helps me unload the dishwasher, passes me pegs/clothes when we do the washing. I give him a wet cloth and he helps me dust He also loves to help me clean the back windows. DD is happy to hang out in her JJ/ on a blanket on the floor/ in the sling and watch what we do.

    But mopping is done at night, as is washing up. I prepare what i can of dinner while he's asleep. Where possible, I get him to help (obviously, that gets easier as they get older!). it takes a bit longer and is rarely done perfectly , but he has fun and otherwise, it might not get done at all.
