DYK I am feeling MUCH better.
DYK Abi just had an intense day and it wears me out - we are opposites in that regard.
DYK Sean got her in bed and quieted by 8pm. It is wonderful.
DYK uh oh, I'm over my nut allowance.
DYK don't tell Sean - he's got night night plans I do believe.
DYK I used to not like any chocolate except milked down hot chocolate and occasionally a sniker's bar.
DYK I eyed a piece of brownie today and thought if I ate that... no one would know.
DYK I split it to the kids and ran into the other room, lol.
DYK instead of hounding Sean about unbalanced home/chore responsibilities, I borrowed a chart/poster technique from a recent super nanny and it apparently spoke for itself.
DYK it is on our closet door - a 1/2 sheet of posterboard.
DYK His name and my name are at the bottom in purple and green
DYK Then there are little cut outs of each chore and who does them.
DYK It looks like this:
wash/dry laundry
put away laundry
wash/put away dishes
sweep floors
menu planning
pay bills
cook dinner
grocery shopping
DYK I didn't even comment on the new chart, but I saw him study it.
DYK slips with Clean Bathroom and Mop Floors are stuck to my computer monitor b/c they are "up for grabs" - neither of us does that.
DYK I am waiting to see if he puts them on his side. I give it 3 days.
DYK our list would look the same, except DH doesn't mow the yard -- we pay someone.
DYK no wonder I'm tired!!
DYK and I know women who can do it all -
DYK I am not one of them.
DYK I spend so much time trying to do that list, that the kids run wild -
DYK that if I then spend as much time with the kids as they need - the house gets wild.
DYK that must mean that it is more than ONE person can do!
DYK - or I try to do it all with "perfection" and then have a MAJOR meltdown whe it all doesn't work out or when I get tired enough!
DYK it is too much for one person -- especially since I "work" outside the house 2 days a week, too.
DYK that is why DH is almost out of clean underwear. :)
Jammie -
DYK that when you started this thread, you were so excited that you mis-spelled January?
DYK it makes me smile everytime b/c I am THE WORST speller in the entire world?
DYK I know it was just a typo?
