Ok so I was feeling totally over whelmed after starting full time and it only took a week for me to break down. I called a family meeting one night to discuss ways to help Mommy. First we brain stormed what needed to be done around the house during the week. This went really well, everyone was well aware of what needed to be done and spoke up so it wasn't just me talking. After that I made a chart with the days of the week and members of the family old enough to do chores. Then we went around the table to say what chore we wanted to take care of. I can't believe how well this worked, everyone took on chores that are realistic. We have posted it on the fridge so everyone can see it. Every night at 7 we look at the chart and start to get our chores done. We have done this for two weeks and it has so far been a huge success. It has helped me so much with feeling over whelmed, this is what we needed.
