One of my whiny complaints about mat leave is that, because you spend so much time at home, the household chores take over your life. Sometimes it feels like a mom’s life is an endless cycle of cooking and cleaning. Supposedly I am home to spend time with my kids, but I end up not spending time with them because I am trying to feed them and keep them clean. It does not help that while I am cooking and cleaning the kids get their toys (and things they consider their toys) all over the place because I am too busy cooking and cleaning to stop them. Then I get mad at them because I have to clean some more. Then they refuse to eat the delicious healthy meals I lovingly prepared and scream for cookies.<\/p>\n

By the time I am done enough to sit down and relax a bit, the kids are already in bed. To cheer myself up I made a new rule: Whoever cleans up the Lego gets to play with it. <\/p>\n
