Naptime is literally the only down time I get, unless my daughter decides to go to bed early. We clean together, or I clean while she's awake. Toddler-hood is not too early to learn that cleaning is the entire family's job, not something that gets done while the children sleep. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-clean-while-the-kids-nap#post-906756 Thu, 04 Jul 2013 16:15:44 +0000 Boheme 906756@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I try! Sometimes I'm just too tired. The 'sleep when the baby sleeps' philosophy makes for a messy house :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-clean-while-the-kids-nap#post-906741 Thu, 04 Jul 2013 15:52:34 +0000 CupQuakeWalk 906741@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I workout first: because if that doesn't happen during the nap, it'll never happen.<br /> Then I start to clean but he wakes up mid-way. Usually I can get him entertained long enough to finish...if not, it waits until do gets home. She takes over bedtime and I finish up picking up around the house. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-clean-while-the-kids-nap#post-906732 Thu, 04 Jul 2013 15:44:03 +0000 prettylizy 906732@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>On paper--- of course!! Reality = 50/50! lol! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-clean-while-the-kids-nap#post-906731 Thu, 04 Jul 2013 15:43:17 +0000 autumnlove 906731@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Sometimes! I'm going to watch a TV show right now! :-) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-clean-while-the-kids-nap#post-906729 Thu, 04 Jul 2013 15:41:23 +0000 mrbee 906729@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>On weekends and holidays, I try to make a dent in the housecleaning while the kids nap... at least, once I've taken a shower!</p> <p>It's sooo tempting to take a nap too though. Or to open up a browser and see what's up on the net! If I can just get those first 30 seconds of temptation and start cleaning though, it feels so good afterward! Halfway through some cleaning right now... hopefully the kids sleep a little longer, so I have time to post this and still finish up!</p> <p>Do you clean while the kids nap? </p>
