Hey all, I am the parent of a 9 and 5 year old. My wife works insane hours trying to climb the white pillar of academia. I have a normal 9-5 and am the primary caretaker for my kids. I love them and adore seeing them doing activities and growing.But my house is a fucking disaster.Laundry that is perpetually not done, piles of toys/stuff all over the house, messy bathroom, dishes that are in differing states of dirtiness, and now boxes of Halloween decorations all over.Soccer, scouts, appointments, shopping, trips, playtime, fishing, and on normal years lots of “events” and camps.Our house is filled with laughter and our bellies are full. So why do I care? Because my mom was Betty effin’ Crocker. Growing up, my parents house was spotless. Dinner was ready at 5:30, and my Mom handled everything while enjoying a cocktail.I always feel overwhelmed and behind on my “work”. I feel better when I can have people to relate to, so how do the rest of you Reddit parents manage it all? Let me know if I’m way off base or if this is just the feeling of being in the trenches of parenthood. 😀 via /r/Parenting https://ift.tt/30v8zZH
