(As an apart, they’re additionally 100% accountable for all the pieces associated to highschool and jobs. In the event that they need assistance with one thing, they’re welcome to ask for assist, however I don’t oversee or handle any of this a part of their life because it’s thought of their duty in our dwelling.)

And on and on it goes.
Secret #3: I’ve actually good techniques in place for a lot of areas of our dwelling.
I’ve alluded to a few of these above, however these techniques save my sanity. As an illustration:
- I order groceries on Thursdays and have them delivered on Fridays.
- I solely wash my hair as soon as per week (and I wash the three youthful children’ hair as soon as per week, too.)
- When the mail will get introduced in, I am going via it instantly and handle it.

These are just some examples. So a lot of this stuff we’ve been doing for therefore lengthy that they simply occur with out me even actually desirous about it. They’re on autopilot.
And these easy techniques maintain our dwelling and lives operating easily and permit me to have respiration room to spend time with my children, make house for enjoyable, spend money on relationships, handle my well being, and attempt to get sufficient sleep (most nights!).
