How many hours housework do you do in a day?

Arrggghh. I am currently 28 weeks pregnant and have a 2 year old DD. We have recently moved from a flat into quite a large old house and I am having a nightmare keeping it clean and tidy. I try to prioritise playing with DD but really some housework just can't be ignored.
It's really starting to get me down as I'm suffering from depression as well so have very little motivation and the place is always a mess.

How many hours housework a day do other SAHM's do? Maybe i'm just not doing enough but it always seems filthy...

"90 minutes a day and I work f/t and clean for four hours on a Saturday am"
Shock
How many dc do you have and surely if you're not at home the house can't be that dirty?!

I'm a sahm so I clean as I go along.. dusting, sweep/vacuum 10
minutes. Clean up after breakfast lunch dinner. Put on a wash daily.. hang out to dry or on clothes horse.. clean toilet, sink shower daily takes 5 minutes.

I don't know but I'd guess 3 hours on a weekend and maybe 2 or 3 hours spread across the week?

I am feeling highly motivated today and started to try and do my housework before 9. On track yday and today, managed to do the vacuum today everywhere before 9 yey.

I hate vacuuming

OkPedro I have two DS. Eldest is 20 months and youngest 3 months... so I find doing half an hours housework easier because one of the kids needs me for something or other so could never really do a 2/3 solid clean.

I usually have to break up the 30 mins into two 15 minute bursts because DS2 will want milk or DS1 will want something
