OK so it's 1:40pm and I have a two yr old about to wake up and school run to do, my house is still disguisting despite me having spent the last 1 1/2 hrs folding washing, putting stuff away etc. How on earth do you keep a clean house! My 6yr old is complaining I don't spend enough time with him and his sister seems to spend most of her day trailing around behind me while I do washing, wash up, vacuum etc.

I have tried to do more before we go in the morning but but the time I do lunches, get the kids ready for school and then we have the usual swimming lessons, mothers group, sports etc, DD comes home for a nap and then it's back to school and after school activities - how on earth are there enough hours in the day! I spend the evenings studying (and OK on the computer - it's my downtime right) but I desperately would love some time to myself to just relax and do something I enjoy - how is this even possible. It's normally 9pm by the time I finish cleaning up after dnner and getting the kids to bed.

DH really had high hopes of me being this domesticated wife and SAHM but I seem incapable. Please help!
