I make a list once a week of chores that need to be done and I break them down into things that can be done daily, weekly and monthly. Then normally while the kids are eating breakfasy, I’ll wash dishes or vaccum, or fold washing etc.
It used to take me no time at all! Now I have a 3 month old and a 3 year old and I’m struggling to get into a good routine. It feels like I’m constantly either breastfeeding one, preparing food for the other or trying to set up an activity for the older one while I get the younger one down for a sleep. The all i have time to do is catch up on dishes and laundry. I’d love to know how other people manage, I feel like I’m drowning
Mine depends on how many bottles my kids have throughout the night which creates more washing.
Then how much my kids dirty their clothes enough that I have to change them multiple times.
After that it’s the cooking and depending on the recipe I choose will again impact my time.
After that it’s things like washing the pots and pans, putting clothes and toys away and vacuuming.
It next ends!
I feel like it takes forever, but I think it is because I try to work around the little ones and therefore do spurts throughout the day. The kitchen, no matter how clean the night before, looks like a mess after breakfast, so that needs to be done, plus I try to get at least one load of washing done before 9. (just on, not out). Vacuuming needs to be done every two days (we use a robot vacuum on alternate days) and I would LOVE to get some time in for bathroom cleaning but folding and putting away usually takes precedence.
