i apologise in advance for the long thread!! but i would really love some tips and advice! i'll try to make it short!
basically..... when me and oh were living in italy (when i was pregnant)we had our own apartment & it was great! school hours over there are different to the uk, i worked from 8am-2pm and then i taught private from 3pm-8/9pm... exhausting but i loved my job! we dedicated weekends to house work/cleaning/batch cooking etc!!
school over there finishes in june.. so at 6months pregnant i finished at school and continued to work privately until semptember. (lo was born in oct)
at this point i started to get alot of problems...fainting/nausea/sickness everyday/losing weight/anaemia...list is endless. luckily for me, my oh dad was monitering my pregnancy as he is a gynocologist and has his own private studio there which ment scans for me every few weeks, chekups ..you name it, i was very lucky!!! he even delivered my lo!!!
it had always been our intention to move back to th uk in dec, & at this point oh parents suggested we move in with them to save money n soo they cud keep an eye on me...... 2 doctors in the house etc
oh was well up for it. although it was great i lost my independence of 'running the house'..they have a maid who cooked cleaned ironed etc.... i did nothing! i am very gratful n nt complaining at all... howver.... i think this has been a disadvantage for me as up to now i havent had the 'real' experience of being a mum/housewife! ive been here at mums sice 23rd dec n finally next wk we move to our apartment in london & im so excited but at the same time dnt know how i'll cope. mum helps loads with marley in the evenings & sometimes i have to tell her to stop interfereing lol as i want to do it on my own! but in the day its me n him n there doesnt seem to be enuff hrs in the day to do everything!!! mum here does all the ironing etc... i help with cooking n cleaning but its exhausting. i cant wait to be a 'proper' family me oh n lo been out n got loads of godies 4 house n cleaning stf etc (geek lol)...but im worried about getting everything done i was still in pjs at midday and cnt remember last time i wore makeup!! dont get me wrong i knew it would be hrd n i love every moment with marley but hes very demanding n hates being left on his mat or in his basket too long!!

I clean when Charley's asleep. The only me time I get is evening hence why he goes to bed at 7.30 so I have the night to myself! I also don't try to be wonder woman! I do bits of housework but don't do everything in one day! I Hoover, wash up, cook etc everyday but I don't dust of clean the bathroom everyday, only twice a week!
