You hire someone to do the housework. If you can’t afford that? Barter. Maybe you love to cook. Trade off two great dinners for 2 hours of cleaning windows, etc.
I ask them who does the laundry, cooking and cleaning. Usually, it is them, when they get home from an 8 hr day and on their weekends.
I took care of the "housework" mostly during the day, spent time with the family after dinner (which hubby and kids cleaned up)and enjoyed many things on the weekends.
Most women today are overworked, overstressed and burned out. They complain that they don't have enough "time for themselves" yet can't imagine not holding a full-time job or worse yet state, "We can't get by on just one income" (as they both drive expensive cars, eat out most of the time, send kids to expensive classes, camps, dance, etc. lessons and take vacations regularly to Disney!
” Trade off two great dinners for 2 hours of cleaning windows, etc.”
When I was 6 I made a deal with my mother that if she would clean up my room and make my bed I would bake cookies once a week.
The only drawback was that I had to leave the kitchen like I found it.
