Re: Housework systems that work
Honestly? I just do things as I can. I work full time, but I work from home - so if I go to use the bathroom, I throw a load in the washer and/or drier. If I'm on a meeting I know I don't need to speak in, I'll fold laundry. Need a 5 min break? Sweep the floor...
After work, I just do things as they need to be done and ask the kids to help. I found having a chore system worked well for us when they were younger, but not so much now that most are older. I just ask them to help and they do.
My husband also pitches in a lot. He does pretty much all the cooking and dishes, so that's a huge help for me too.
