I got too spoiled with him doing most everything so now when I'm stressed, it's like I'm double stressed! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-youre-super-busy-at-work-do-you-cut-back-on-chores#post-1483675 Mon, 10 Mar 2014 11:31:32 +0000 LovelyPlum 1483675@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>YES.

I still do breakfast and school dropoff/pickups, but I used to do the dishes very regularly but now I'm not doing them nearly as much.</p> <p> It really has an impact on our quality of life, because our sink and dishwasher are so small that you have to stay on top of them! </p> <p>When you're super busy at work, do you cut back on chores? </p>
