I don't really. I put all the clean washing in the spare room and that gets put away hardly ever. If stuff really has to be done I do it at night after jack has gone to bed. ]]> Wed, 27 Sep 2006 20:44:38 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=3881&PID=74593&title=motivation-sp#74593 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=3881&PID=74467&title=motivation-sp#74467 Author: Paws

I agree...if someone is coming over then I have a shot at getting some housework done...otherwise..not a prayer! Then again I suppose I do have an excuse with me still lugging around little miss stubborn!]]> Wed, 27 Sep 2006 12:44:23 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=3881&PID=74467&title=motivation-sp#74467 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=3881&PID=74462&title=motivation-sp#74462 Author: newmum

When I am home Zaara is attached to my hips and its hard to get any thing done. She sits in her chair for 1.5 hours when I put the wiggles on and Hubby and I are running around doing stuff. Other than that Hubby does alot of house work at the moment. Oh and Zaara helps as well She took her blankie yesterday and dragged it all over the floor and then stopped at different point and wiped the table, the wall, the cupboard doors....so the house is sparkling at the moment.

So to cut a long story short I have no motivation and no time...he he ha ha (thats my excuse and I am sticking to it!!) ]]> Wed, 27 Sep 2006 11:18:28 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=3881&PID=74448&title=motivation-sp#74448 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=3881&PID=74432&title=motivation-sp#74432 Author: Kellz

i never got motivated to do housework until Rhiannon was about 3mths old, and now i have my first load of washing on at 6.30am and everything done by 9am, (this includes shower, breakfast for me and Rhiannon) so i have the rest of the day to be lazy.

In saying that housework hasnt been done since saturday apart from washing, and dishes...lol]]> Wed, 27 Sep 2006 07:29:56 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=3881&PID=74335&title=motivation-sp#74335 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=3881&PID=74329&title=motivation-sp#74329 Author: Peace

I normally try to get my lazy time over with by a certain time then get onto house work. Olivia goes down at 9am, so I stay online till around 10am or 10.30am then go spend the next 30 - 60mins rushing around doing stuff before hubby comes home for lunch and Olivia wakes up!]]> Tue, 26 Sep 2006 22:16:26 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=3881&PID=74329&title=motivation-sp#74329 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=3881&PID=74298&title=motivation-sp#74298 Author: EllenMumof2

No Motivation here either really just do the things that really need doing like tea, toilets,washing and if other stuff gets done its done used to be a clean freak but that changed after i had kids.

Have now decided that housework will actually be easier once Lewis starts work - no longer will he be there to entertain the kids while I clean, but no longer will he be there, not picking up after his damnself.]]> Tue, 26 Sep 2006 20:19:06 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=3881&PID=74294&title=motivation-sp#74294 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=3881&PID=74282&title=motivation-sp#74282 Author: aimeejoy

I still dont have the motivation to do it! I just do it cos it has to be done. I dont think I really started doing much more than cooking, dishes and vacuuming until Han was 6-8 weeks. I was still sleeping during the day, so that was more important. ]]> Tue, 26 Sep 2006 19:57:03 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=3881&PID=74282&title=motivation-sp#74282 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=3881&PID=74280&title=motivation-sp#74280 Author: ellabellame

i agree with the others, it's really hard to get motivated.
when mikey was ethans age i pretty much did nothing except cook dinner in the evenings lol, it drove sam mad.
it does get easier as they get older though.]]> Tue, 26 Sep 2006 19:54:10 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=3881&PID=74280&title=motivation-sp#74280 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=3881&PID=74246&title=motivation-sp#74246 Author: nikkitheknitter

We don't.

If you do a quick search on the string "can't be arse doing any housework" you'll come up with a million posts.
