I don't do a massive amount of housework as a SAHM. As the pp said, it's just that I do mine in school hours.
I do towels every couple of days and bedding once every week to 10 days.
On the subject of SAHMing. I do find that my 'work' just expands to fill the time available. I have to make a real effort to be efficient as it's so easy to put stuff off. I have no doubt that if I was working I'd be much more efficient. That expression, if you want something done give it to a busy person. It's so true for me.
I've slid into inefficiency recently. To get back into the groove I treat my SAHMing as a job. So lists, priorities, deadlines etc. I find it easy to drift without external influences and time constraints.
When DD was at nursery I was more efficient eg I'd think OK, I have to do x, y and z before I pick her up at 1pm.
That said I've spent about 10 hours this week on my voluntary work at home. I enjoy it as it uses many of my former career skills. However it is unseen and unrewarded. It is appreciated and does give some sense of validation but it is quite far from self actualisation. And once the project is complete very few people will have any clue that I was involved with it. Recently,(Following on from my last post) I've found myself wailing inside, this is bloody hard, no other bugger wants to do it, I should be paid for this (voluntary ) work.
So it's helping me seek paid opportunities.
Another observation I have regarding working. I think as far as many are concerned, and perhaps wider society, what is important is just to be able to say that you work. Where, for how long and for what reward is irrelevant. I'm surprised by some mothers at the school gates about the song and dance they make about their work only to find that in reality they're only working 6 hours a week or something. So I am increasingly feeling like the odd one out as I can't join in those conversations. Not to mention someone (snidely) saying oh well deux, you've got it easy.
Oh well.
