Do you feel more pressure to have a clean and orderly home? I always feel like a failure when there is unfolded laundry or dishes in the sink. I guess I should do more during my lunch break!

@autumnlove: the hardest part is that working at home, you actually generate even more clutter than usual!

I don't. I did at first, until I realized (and made my husband realize) I AM working. Just because I work from home doesn't mean I'm a stay at home wife. So long as I'm getting paid a full time salary, I will not feel badly about expecting my husband to do an equal share of the housework. (That being said, I DO end up doing more just because I'm around, but weeks when I am overwhelmed and things get messy... I don't feel badly at all).

I kept the house neat, but I am a neat freak! Still neat as a SAHM!

I WAH more or less full time. I do feel the pressure to keep things clean and I'm generally pretty good at it. But being 33 weeks pregnant and working and taking care of DS, it has become too much. We actually just hired a cleaning lady 2 weeks ago to come once per week and she has been absolutely marvelous and totally worth the investment.

Before LO, I worked from my home office on Fridays. I also felt compelled to be doing laundry and cleaning. When I go back to work after my mat leave I'm going to stay home two days a week. I'll try to devote one day to paperwork and one day to household chores......all while taking care of LO. We will see how this works!

I try... but it's so hard working FT and having a LO. And my DH is not around a lot, so I'm a single parent most of the time.
