Answer 3

A) Majority of my day usually 6+ hours easily on the days my husband is working a day shift. (he's on a different shift everday).

B) Cooking: about an hour or two depending on what I'm making...occasionally i'll make something that requires more time like a roast, or gumbo, ect.

Household stuff, same an hour or two a day. Most of the time it's just vacuuming and laundry, tidying up a bit. Everything stays fairly clean day to day. Once a week or so, I'll go through and scrub out the tub/shower, doors, base boards..all the stuff that gets "missed" in daily routine.

C) Maybe 2 hours at most. I bounce back and forth answering on here a couple of questions an hour throughout the day(most days...some days I don't get on until the evening). The kids are asleep by 10 usually, thats when I'll wind down and watch a movie or read a book, e-mail, ect. I wait untill the kids are in bed to vacuum...works best that way for me.

My kids are 3years8months old, and 7 months old. 15 weeks 4 days pregnant with #3.

Answer 5

I don't play with my daughter nearly enough! I can't get into percentages, but I spend a lot of time cleaning!!

I hardly have time to get food cooked, laundry done, house cleaned because I have a family of 3. My husband is hardly home and when he is, he makes a mess and never cleans up.

While my child sleeps/ plays, I usually clean some more, shower (thank goodness!) and go on Yahoo Answers.

My daughter turns 8 months on Sunday.
