We have set up a house work roster only recently now that DD is 16 mths old and with twins due in a couple of months we needed something to give us a guide as to what to do.

Even though I am the SAHM my DH does alot of the general housework in the evening when he gets home from work...

Mondays: Washing - Our clothes (this is playgroup day so don't do too much else) - DD Bath night
Tuesdays: Washing for DD and dusting when DH gets home - Will be bath night for twins
Wednesdays: Washing for new babies (while they aren't here I'm starting to wash and prepare all items needed) - DD Bath night
Thursday: Washing our clothes and DH vacuum's & mops when he gets home - WIll be bath night for twins
Friday: Washing DH's work shirts & Washing for DD- DD Bath Night, cleaning Bathroom & Kitchen
Saturday: Ironing and DH will do work in the garden ie: mow lawns etc
Sunday: Family Day

DH will generally also cooked dinner 5 out of 7 nights as well and we alternate washing the dishes. Every evening once DD is in bed I will do a general tidy up and pack up her toys and get everything put back in order for the next day.

During the day if I notice things need doing I will put the carpet sweeper through and do a generaly tidy and after each of DD's meals I will clean the floor in the kitchen. I also will fit in with the housework roster time to go grocery shopping and to also take DD out for the day etc.

We have found that having the roster gives us a good idea of what needs to be done and as we are doing everything on a regular basis, we find that it only probably takes 10-20 minutes to do our allocated chores for the day instead of having to spend hours doing it all on one day.

Being a SAHM is not easy and sometimes things happen during the day that don't go to plan that is why both DH and I share the housework as even though he is going to work everyday I'm still doing a full time job being home looking after DD.
