Teach me to be a good housewife!

[NaeNae]

Organise a day for your DD to go out without either of you for a few hours. Nominate a few chores for your man to tackle and you do the others.
Its half his mess so half the responsibility SHOULD be on him, none of this "I make the money so you keep house" crap ... you're raising his child thats work in itself.

SO,

Get the house in ship shape.

Then do 1 thing every day while your LO sleeps and do the dishes at the end of the day so you wake up to a fresh clean kitchen (start) every day.

I try to vac every 2nd or 3rd day, toilet scrubbed once a week but properly with stuff once a fortnight (I struggle with the smell of disinfectant atm), I wash every second day (nappies) and clothes just as we need them. I fold as I bring things off the line before they get in the basket and try to put them away immediately though that doesn't always work.

I don't dust often but there is little point getting anal about dirt where I live. I don't have a routine as such just do things as I see they need doing.

Its much easier to maintain a little bit at a time so get the bulk of it done and then just do 1 job a day.

I actually feel like sending DP and DD off together! While he does do a better job at cleaning then i do but i just have my way of cleaning and organising. But for me to get time to myself is pretty much slim to none considering i work when he doesn't so we have no free time together as is!

I think i will just use the hours im awake before her, when she naps and when goes to bed to do my housework. I usually spend those times to myself watching tv or browsing the net.

But i tell myself everyday this is what ill do and i never manage to do it..

i usually enjoy cleaning the house when DD and DH is out of the house also!
I crank up the music and i clean one room at a time moving junk from one room to the next. Once i see progress it motivates me to continue
