I also have a timer on my washing machine, so I can put clothes in the morning and have them be done when I get home so I can just pop them in the dryer. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/chores-that-take-up-your-time-on-the-weekends#post-2206254 Fri, 12 Jun 2015 03:43:29 +0000 TheSwissWifeStyle 2206254@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm home during the week, so I try to keep up with it then. (Try...) DH will sometimes mop on the weekends. He's in charge of toilets, so they get done then, and also sometimes a deeper bathroom cleaning. If we're having a party or having ppl over, we'll both clean a bit more. </p> <p>Other than that it's usually just house-hold projects. (Painting furniture, getting baby's room ready, etc.) </p> <p>Sometimes (most times?) we let things go too much on the weekend, and then I dread picking up on Monday! So annoying. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/chores-that-take-up-your-time-on-the-weekends#post-2206202 Thu, 11 Jun 2015 22:51:31 +0000 lamariniere 2206202@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Truth Bombs: definitely one of the benefits to WAH! </p> <p>I WAH, so I always manage to do a little bit of cleaning or laundry every day. We have a cleaning lady once per week and I maintain throughout the week so that there isn't anything major to do over the weekend. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/chores-that-take-up-your-time-on-the-weekends#post-2205815 Thu, 11 Jun 2015 18:54:54 +0000 Dandelion 2205815@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Laundry. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/chores-that-take-up-your-time-on-the-weekends#post-2205798 Thu, 11 Jun 2015 18:48:33 +0000 knittylady 2205798@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yard work feels like the biggest time suck at the moment. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/chores-that-take-up-your-time-on-the-weekends#post-2205746 Thu, 11 Jun 2015 18:02:31 +0000 babynumber1 2205746@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Truth Bombs: that sounds wonderful!

I'm thinking of doing drop off service for bedding since it's the chore I loathe the most. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/chores-that-take-up-your-time-on-the-weekends#post-2205521 Thu, 11 Jun 2015 14:34:33 +0000 Truth Bombs 2205521@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>So much laundry. I'm working from home today and I swear I could rule the world if I worked from home full time. The kitchen is clean, dinner is in the crock pot, I've done three loads of laundry, and I've gotten more actual work done than I do on a typical day in the office because no one is distracting me. It's seriously glorious. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/chores-that-take-up-your-time-on-the-weekends#post-2205510 Thu, 11 Jun 2015 14:31:25 +0000 travellingbee 2205510@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Not much. I have off on Fridays so I get the grocery shopping done and most of the housework done then. (We have a house cleaner twice a month and a yard service weekly) Sometimes we do laundry or random "fixing" around the house, but we don't spend much time doing chores. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/chores-that-take-up-your-time-on-the-weekends#post-2205506 Thu, 11 Jun 2015 14:30:29 +0000 looch 2205506@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Laundry, grocery shopping, weekend meal prep, yard work. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/chores-that-take-up-your-time-on-the-weekends#post-2205497 Thu, 11 Jun 2015 14:27:09 +0000 Adira 2205497@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Ugh, ditto yardwork!

We also try to do some picking up and vacuuming!</p> <p>Sometimes though, it's all we can do to keep up with the kids! Wish that we didn't have to think about cleaning and chores on weekends, but alas that's not our reality.</p> <p>What chores take up your time on the weekends? </p>
