Congrats Elmo~~~~
Jojo, erm... I also getting paranoid sometimes with #1, but at their age, this is how they like, don't they? Normally when I aware that I'm getting impatient, I will walk away silently, lock myself in room, walk out only when I cool down, sometimes I failed to do so and still, will shout at #1 before I can walk away... But once I shout, I regretted, lols~~~
Actually depends on what u want... To me, so long the house is not in MESS~ I'm ok, that's y I can survive with only do cleaning once a week now... IF really dirty will do some simple cleaning lor~ Like sweep abit here and there...
Mostly I'll throw the dirty cloth into washing machine and hang them up after #1 fall asleep or if I'm too tired will get hubby to help, we wash our clothes alternate or 3 days once...
So we get to give more time to our #1, I do agree that when #2 is out, maybe we have lesser time for #1 or even both! That is y I'm thinking to order tingkat, so our after work time will all goes to our kid...
If you think you are just too tired to handle house chores, maybe you can consider to get those part time helper, to come your house once a week maybe in weekend, to clean your house, do laundry for you etc.
We are not superman/superwoman, so you can decide which is more impt to you so you allocate more time on the thing you think is more important, don't stress out yourself, worst come to worst, you can still try to have a maid living with you?
Cheers~
