Its hard I know! I remember my hubby would want to take the kids to his moms for the day so we could "clean and catch up". I was always very mad when he said things like that as it wasn't his mothers responsibility to watch the kids so we could clean.

Our moms never took us somewhere else so they could clean! It shocks me. I have had moms at drop off say "OK, see you later. I'm going home to clean." Then I look around at my house and would love to have a day in the middle of the week to "clean". I never have a chance to clean without at least 4 kids here every single day!

I think moms have it very easy now and don't realize it. They can just drop off their children at childcare when they need to. The thing though is moms before us probably had more me time because very few women worked out side of the house. I remember my mom going to the neighbors and drinking coffee on the front porch and just getting to talk. I think that woiuld be absolute bliss.
