Anyone lazy like me?

in Babies: 6 - 9 Months

I see all these posts on here where other SAHMs are talking about doing laundry, cleaning, dusting, etc. everyday. They are doing so much housework in a day that they have to wear their LOs around the house just to get all the work done.

I guess maybe I'm lazy, but I don't do all those things within a day. I do laundry 1-2 times a week (and normally the clean clothes will sit around for a day or two), I clean the bathrooms once every 2 weeks (it really doesn't get that dirty) and I dust probably once a month (yes, I should do this more often, but I HATE dusting!). The only things that get done every day around here are the dishes, bottle washing and general picking up, keeping things in their places.

Am I the only one?

    I love you!!!!

    Bumpworld and Realworld are not the same.

    I, like you, do things in moderation.  Not because I'm lazy but because I delegate my time diff....or maybe I AM lazy....

    I'm not a SAHM, but the only housework that I do daily is dishes, wipe down counters, bottles, and vaccuuming.  Laundry, dusting and bathrooms wait until the weekend.

    LOL @ just_peachy..bumpworld and realworld at not the same! :)

    I SAH and I have a housekeeper who comes every other week. I love it and I have no problem w/ it. I have to pick up every day, do dishes, laundry I do probably 3 loads a week... but I don't "clean" often. I vacuum when needed. The rest is up to our 2 housekeepers :D Believe me, I am still plenty busy and don't consider it lazy at all ;)

    I clean the bathrooms like once a month...haha! I vacuum about once week, do laundry 2-3 times a week, and dust every 2-3 weeks. I hate housework!! Luckily, DH just got me a housekeeper for my bday, so she is coming once every 2 weeks, then all I've got to do is pickup and maintain..yay!

    You aren't lazy, life is too short to spend it doing housework!

    I have a housekeeper b/c I hate cleaning so much.  We have had her since long before we thought about having a LO b/c otherwise DH would have to do all the cleaning himself. 

    I make up for my lazy housework by loving (and doing loads) of yard work and cooking!

    Bahahaha, i could have written this.  The only things i do daily are wash dishes and bottles, straighten up the place and usually cook dinner. Bathroom maybe once a week.  Dusting, ummmm, never?

    I'm a SAHM and there's NO WAY I could get all that done. LO won't let me lol. Besides spending time with DD is way more important to me than making sure the house is tidy.
