Yes I do (what cleaning and tidying I do - I am fairly domestically challenged), but is more to do with timing than anything else - because there is little point doing all day long because just gets in a state again, but the only time I have the TV on is the hour before DH is home, while I am doing tea, doing other dishes and tidying bits and pieces (when I am not working that is). Once the kids are in bed I want to chill so don't want to leave it to do later. Also really I am a complete slob - and sometimes I don't want DH to see that (it isn't the kids always although I do blame them sometimes )- when I was at home job seeking the kids were in daycare all day and I would often still do a mad tidyup before picking them up and DH getting home. Each to their own I reckon, different things work for different families - all DH likes is the side in the kitchen to be free for him to put the groceries down on (as he often does shopping on the way home) and for him to be able to prepare his meal for lunch the next day (and often mine too now am working).
