Getting up early , making breakfast for the entire family , washing dishes , cooking , cleaning the house , dusting , laundary , ironing , having meals ready on time , picking /dropping the kids , helping them with homework , socializing , throwing parties and entertaining and for some of you combining all that with a busy /demanding career !!!
Have I missed anything or is there more ???
How do you guys shoulder all that responsibility , day in and day out ?
Do you have a plan of action ??
How do you guys do it ?
I feel completely overwhelmed by the thought of all this !
so true, i always look at those women in awe that get their houses to look like museums, totally spotless. how do they do it and get everything else done too?
Nisha exactly AND they still look fresh and rearing to go !
I'm not a morning person.........the thought of having to wake up early to serve breakfast for hubby & kids every single day seems daunting enough !!!!***
Well, usually they're used to it by then. You don't just wake up one day and find yourself with a husband and 2 kids going to school it takes years and years (getting married, getting pregnant, having a baby, raising that baby) and slowly easing into the changes...
It does sound like a whole lot to someone who is single/doesn't have kids, but when you've had years of taking care of a house/husband/baby, getting them ready for school isn't un-manageable.
Talk about inefficient. Learn to take basic management classes :p
CM's not wrong. Ladies, the one of the first lessons a good manager learns, is to delegate. So apply that to your work and voila, all work gets delegated and done by others!
it's mostly about time management you can always make a rough schedule for yourself just for a few days to get the hang of everything but after a while it's like second nature and like Sara said it's something that takes practice but it doesn't seem that overwhelming as you do it for a while............of course hubby should be helping with some of the things as well
As per above advice you are not Training the kids properly !
The elder one should have learnt to cook 3 course meals by now and the younger one should know how to do the laundary and iron !
TLK should be able to zip in from work to do the dishes and vacuum and make chapatis while he still works 9 to 5 and is impressing the bosses at work !
