How do I keep the mothership running while we work full time.

My partner and I both work full time, we have a 3 year old daughter and I'm 23 weeks with our second. We have out of work hobbies which are weightlifting for me and mixed martial arts for him plus I'm studying AND I'm a volunteer fire fighter with the CFA. So if we can run a smooth house hold to a degree im happy to share how lol Firstly, my suggestion is split the chores. For example, I do clothes washing (includes drying and putting away) mopping and vac, general tidy up and my partner does all the dishes, keeps kitchen tidy (sometimes lol) and the yard work. But at the end of the day we happily ask for help doing them. The bulk of house hold chores is done on a Sunday afternoon in our house. I do shopping after work/gym on a Wednesday night and a 'top up' shop on a Sunday. Don't be afraid to buy foods that you can just chuck in the oven, kievs are our favourite and then just make a quick salad etc. Also, don't be afraid to let the house work get away from you a little bit - so there's a few dirty dishes in the sink? Big deal. I also get up earlier to not only get ready for work but walk around the house putting dirty washing in the machine or clean stuff in the dryer and also gracefully kicking toys and shoes into hidden areas around the house like behind the couch haha my theory is, if the washing is clean and dry then don't rush to put it away. Our lives are more relaxed now that we understand that a few dirty dishes and a basket of clothing isn't going to kill anyone. Another good one is if you do make a mess, just clean it up then and there - like dirty kitchen bench. Don't try and make a different meal every day of the week, find something yummy everyone likes and have that a few times - you can't go wrong. Hope I helped some how :)
