I came across this article today and was seriously laughing out loud! I guess there are people out there that really think this way, but I bet they will never talk to me about it :)
It is the hardest transition ever to try to get things done and be a mom. It takes me 4-5 times the amount of time to get things picked up around my house then it used to because I start one chore and hear a scream and go running to see what the problem is. I start another one and someone poops or pees on the floor and I have to stop and tend to that. It is not uncommon at all to walk around my house on a Saturday afternoon and see about 10 different chores partially finished. It has gotten progressively worse as the kids have gotten older. I figured it would get better, but maybe that will happen in a few more years!
The other issue is that I am SEVERLY outnumbered when it comes to picking things up. There are 4 people that make a mess and only 1 that picks up. Well, Maggie does like to help me fold clothes but she just shakes them out and throws them on the floor. And Annabelle has started to gather things up and put them away, but I usually cant figure out where she has put them... But the thoughts are nice! :)
As different as my household chores are, it does make it worth it that I get lots of hugs and kisses as payment...and those come from 3 people so I guess I am outnumbered in that area as well :)
