In such a mess....

webitha

my routines get the kids to do as much as poss while i have a brew, im not being mean im teaching them how to look after themselves lol
only kidding but my 3 do have some chores, and i and starting to teach the eldest how to cook, and as they get older their chores will increase as i go back to work in sept when LO goes full time to school

but to keep on top of things i blitz 1 room a week, cleaning woodwork bin junk etc, and a general tidy up in the other rooms, that way it always seems to stay tidy, OH works away all week so he does nowt in the house

All good advice so far.

Something else you need to do is stop watching TV show or reading magazines that show beautiful women working full time, bringing up 6 kids, with a gorgeous tidy house and still have time to bake cakes, read stories will the kids, and have time for OH too.

ITS MAKE BELIEVE. Don't try and measure up to these people. Your house is closer to reality and don't let anyone else kid you otherwise !!!

Of course we can all get a bit more organised and your house move is the perfect opportunity to do that.

And as everyone else has said you need to look after yourself. You are the heart of the family and the best way to look after them is to look after you!
