I'm Currently Feeling: | Stay at home moms So how many of you are stay at home mamas?
I am.
I was just wondering, do you take care of everything in the house???
As for me, I do pretty much everything...
-laundry
-cleaning the kitchen, fill the dishwasher empty the dishwasher...
-vaccum, cleaning floors, dusting
-tiding up
-cleaning the bathroom &toilet
-keep track of the money & pay the bills
-cook the meals
-grocery shopping
etc etc etc
One thing I can say: I never get bored! |

I'm Currently Feeling: | im a sahm and do everything you listed and more - we dont have a dishwasher so i wash the dishes by hand and i do all the diy cuz i like things like that lol! to be honest the way i see it is my fella is at work all day and shouldnt come home to chores and whatever, he has his tea waiting for him (except a thursday as he has football training straight from work then goes pub all night). he always offers to do things (except the dishes - think he has a phobia lol!) but i dont like him to.he brings home the money and pays the bills, i raise the kids and take care of the house and pets. |

I'm Currently Feeling: | I am a stay at home mom as well. To be honest, I am a horrible housewife! We have cleaning ladies that come in once a week, so I don't do much cleaning. I do try to keep the house picked up, but my DH will pitch in as well. I usually do all the laundry, but again, he sometimes helps. I guess that since my DH works from home, it is a little different. |

I'm Currently Feeling: | im a stay at home mum 2. i do the washing, ironing, most of the tidying round and looking after my daughter but my husband is fab 2, he will get the hoover out or wash up. my full time job is caring for our daughter and she is only 18mths so is a hand full so all the house work should be down to me but we split it so get the best of both worlds x |

I'm Currently Feeling: | all needs to be done, i have experience of that as my mum still hasnt learnt to tidy, so i'm the one with all of that, tbh think i'm more of a mum than my mum.....shes an absolute disgrace she goes out everynight, or if not she stays in her room all night expecting me and my 11 year old brother to do our own dinner cooking and going to bed....so basicly i get left looking after an 11 year old, i can't wait to be a mum and do alot better job than her. |

I'm Currently Feeling: | I'm a WAHM. I do the laundry and try to keep things picked up. I also load and unload the dishwasher. I kinda fix dinner sometimes. I'm not a great housewife. I have cleaners that come every other Monday and do all the nitty gritty. |
