I am a SAHM and only have one daughter (7). I have a big house and my parents in law and hubby base my housework on his mom. Her house is perfect. You will never walk in and find anything untidy. But all she does is clean and garden. She knits only in winter at night and does not watch TV. She is the 1950s type who believes that a man does not do housework. My hubby has told me (when he's angry) that all I do is sit on my ass. But then he does sweet things like drive me around so I can get a magazine and the other night he came home with a clip on light to help me stitch. My house looks lived in because I want to enjoy my life doing things I like and nobody ever thanks you for opening a cupboard and always finding clothes in it, but will quickly let you know how unhappy they are if what they want isn't washed or ironed.Moniquehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08844456466932844241noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5860151282865774468.post-8636986982521207752012-06-23T10:16:34.337-07:002012-06-23T10:16:34.337-07:00o m g, that is all so true.

LOL who was that woman who washed down all the bathroom walls yesterday? cooks nearly every day(we have to eat leftovers once in awhile) pays the bills, shops, cleans, totes kids from here to kingdom come????? I try and sew once a week, more if I could. and yes, I could be more efficient, but if no one else cares about doing it, why should I? LOL<br />My home looks lived in and if I am the only one who cleans it, I can only do so much.<br />And yes, I sew, so I <i>must</i> be crafty (so not lol)<br />I am blessed enough to be a stay home mom so I <i>must</i> have tons of free time. why do people get their info? School is out and I have barely had a free minute in three weeks!!

I keep this in mind ALL the time when my house is never clean enough.

I work full-time (my kids are grown upish) and so I don't have the inclination to do housework all weekend. I need my down time which is what stitching, baking, reading and blogging is all about. You tell your DILs that if they want your house to be sparkling 24/7 they are perfectly welcome to come over and do it themselves. You enjoy your kids, your DH and your craft - this is what life is about - not a perfect home all of the time!Kaisievichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12466159839339896483noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5860151282865774468.post-88158089155959067712012-06-16T18:04:13.626-07:002012-06-16T18:04:13.626-07:00Well to anyone who thinks stitching keeps me from ...Well to anyone who thinks stitching keeps me from housework, cooking and any other chore... you've got that right. When DH is on the golf course he doesn't worry about what is/isn't getting done.

Well, duh, there's always something to do around the house, isn't there?! We shouldn't feel guilty for taking some time for ourselves!
