So hi guys welcome back to the third podcast the third clutter bug

podcast today I wanted to talk a little bit about being a stay-at-home mom and

the chores and sort of duties that go along with that but also and the The last few podcast were about kids and obviously being a stay-hood mom has a lot to do with kids

but I sort of want to take those little ones out of the equation at this point and talk a little bit about

my duties I guess as a stay-at-at-at of just watching and playing with and teaching and entertaining the kids.

So I get asked all the time about how chores are sort of divided up between me and my husband

and how our family dynamics sort of works in that regards.

And so I wanted to talk a little bit about that because it is a sore spot for a lot of families.

And I'm not going to lie, this is an issue a lot of the times in our family as well.

You know we don't fight a lot my husband and I am very lucky but I get annoyed at him

specifically probably about, you know, chores and housework and the division of it. So as a stay-at-home mom, I sort of take on all of the household responsibilities when it comes to

cleaning, grocery shopping, making dinners, doing all of that, I guess, household duties has always been my responsibility. Looking back I

totally should not have taken this all on and the reason is the entire time that I have been a stay-at-home mom I've also worked from home

So not just a stay-at-home mom I'm also a work-at-home mom. We just couldn't afford for me to to be a stay-at-home mom.

So at the time, when I first decided I want to stay home,

I ran a home daycare.

So I worked probably 50 to 60 hours a week from home,

watching up to nine children in my home and still at that time

you know when you're young and ridiculous you think you could do it all I still took on all the household responsibilities because it was home

Then as I decided to you know start blogging as a career after years of blogging just as a hobby I decided

you know to try to do this for a living I stopped doing the home daycare and

continued working anywhere from 20 probably to 30 hours a week from home here on my blog.
