How Do You Do It???

At our house it comes down to division of labor and planning. In their early years we didn't find it financially or emotionally worthwhile to do the daycare thing. I stayed home, took care of the kids, and built the place. We both work now.

You have to find methods that work for you as a couple based on your personalities. Find out which jobs you feel are oppressing you and see if its something that can be split up. I know stay-at-home Moms who can't get their work done but it is generally a planning issue. We try to limit our runaround time by focusing on a few activities that the kids really like rather than trying to do everything. Good luck and take heart, nobody gets it all done.
