One of them was 'no housework during the week'. Of course the bathrooms would still get tidied, but the washing would get put in the hamper and there it would wait until Friday night or Saturday. <BR/>Friday after work became my housework time and I would enlist the help of my 11 year old who would help a lot. <BR/><BR/>My relationship broke up so I'm doing it alone, and knew I had to get a handle on how things would run before I became so overwhelmed I got to a point where I couldn't do it. <BR/><BR/>Its taken time, but the key was to utalise help. If your hubby is coping with the things at home then this is an opportunity for you to relinquish that side of things and just let him do it. Of course there may be times when something is forgotton, or missed, but I'm sure he will step into his role and find his feet. If you try and keep a grip on both your work outside the home, and what you think you should be doing at home, you will find yourself exhausted and burnt out. <BR/><BR/>I hope you can get into a routine that works well as its not pleasant feeling like your living on the brink. (always anxious and never able to relax).<BR/><BR/>Take CareName: Lynisehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09623187338341139349noreply@blogger.com
