I used to managed fine with one child but since I've had two it's just so hard to keep on top of everything and keep the kids happy and entertained at all times! I too can keep up with the day to day stuff, just about - its the other stuff that's just getting left. Definitely need a cleaner to help with the bathrooms, windows, skirting boards, doors etc. I just don't have the time unless I get both kids looked after and spend the whole bloody day cleaning! The washing with two is like immense, my washer actually never stops, using my time off work to catch up with my washing as I slipped behind before the school hols cos I've just started working again and I'm just knackered. Working everyday of the week on top of that is just killing me!!
