I mean around the house, and with DC routines.
I just cant seem to manage it all . My house is not dirty, although it is constantly messy. Always seems to be things in the wrong room, or piles of stuff. I tried the Flylady, although I never seemed to be getting anywhere. I try to keep to her morning routine, though again its cleaning, so the rooms still seem chaotic to me.
I also have bags of items to sell hanging of most door handles at the moment. The washing I can never seem to get a grip on, although I do 1 or 2 loads a night (cheaper electric) Inside of cupboards are chaos (wardrobe / kitchen / bathroom / airing) I know that people cant see it, I do though.
I'm trying to get to grips with my finances at the moment - that I do seem to have under control - it's just taking up a large amount of my time at the moment (complete overhaul) and so I don't have much time between that & the DC.
In regards to them (DC) I need to get a grip on that too. Two are at school, and I have a toddler (SAHM) I cant seem to get into a routine with them. They have dinner and go to bed roughly the same time each night, and get up and eat breakfast the same time too. Its all the bits in between; homework / reading / bathing or washing / getting out the door etc. DC3's afternoon naps are hard too, normally sleeps 2 hours, and I need to be out the door by 2.55pm for school run (v. close by) Not sure how to fit around this.
I feel constantly guilty. If I'm doing housework, I feel I should be playing with DC (mainly toddler, as others at school) If I do something with the DC, I feel bad that I'm just letting clutter build around us. And so it goes round, and I never feel as though I'm giving either 100%.
Any advice, or anyone that manages this?
So as I'm not drip feeding, I am recovering from PND too. I feel ok most days now, though this doesn't help sometimes. I seem to get exhausted most afternoons (around 4pm) Not sure if that has anything to do with that though.
