Yes it´s not easy when you have to run here and there. But if you get the kid´s to give their own room´s a good clean, when they have no extra sports, dancing classes and so on this will help you a lot. I always put my washing machine on at night , the clothes ready to hang out first thing in the morning . I also try and clean the bathroom´s before going to bed , as I am the last to use the shower& the first to get in, I like to have it clean, Lot less to clean the next day. Alway´s do the ironing altogether on the one day . Not this I need this ironed, No, Sure the 17 yrold 15 yr old and even the 11 yr old can iron´. If not time to learn, I naught my lot when they were 8 yrs old , so there is no need to depend on me if they need something ironed. I think if you get the kid´s involed helping you out with a few chores, you will have time to do thing´s you really want doing. I get on very well doing my 15 min´s , along with everybody helping out
