Working Parents
Well, I'm a stay-at-home working mom, I work to take care of my baby. I find myself too tired to do anything except take care of my baby which is most important. Because my husband is a "slob" to a degree, and we live in a big house, I don't have the energy to do everything! I told my husband that he either helps or I hire someone. I hired a service that comes every two weeks and does all the very detailed work, changes sheets, does the laundry and scrubs the toliets, polishes the furniture - a good 3 hours for two women. I take that time and get out with my baby at the park, or shop or drop off or pick up my dry cleaning, etc.
You can't do it all by yourself and your spouse should not expect you to. I also teach on weekends once in a while, and my husband is working on his Master's while working as well. So, we're more than busy.
Anyway, I hope you can find a balance between the two of you. Time management, multi-tasking all great tools to make things easier.
When the baby is asleep, I do run a load of wash, run the dishwasher, and catch up on business and this forum!
