For me to feel like I was a "good" mom for the day, the following would have to happen:
- LO didn't eat junk
- less than 15 mins of screen time
That's it really..should I aim higher? Haha. What about you?

Hmmm....
- he got a nap of 1.5h or more
- he didn't blowout
- I got to shower before noon
- I cooked (like actually cooked: no sandwiches)That's not to say that if these don't happen I consider myself a failure because a TRUE win is simply that my 15m old is alive and well by the time his dad gets home(his dad getting home is my "finish line" for my SAH day).
-
Able to feed both kids and make dinner by 6.
-
When LO has ...
- napped for at least 1hr
- ate breakfast and lunch
- managed to not hurt herself too badlyand I've at least cleaned a little and cooked a well-balanced dinner.
@CupQuakeWalk: My end of the day is when DH gets home too!
-
If we both make it through the day alive and without injury I consider it a win. Low expectations?
-
Its a very successful day if Im dressed when DH gets home!! If I have dinner prepped too, its an amazing day!
-
My answer would've been a lot different when he was younger, but now it's that we got out of the house, I did something productive during his nap, and a good dinner is ready so we can hang out as a family when DH gets home.
-
If I shower, dd is happy, and I make dinner, it's a good day. If I manage to get out of the house too, it's a great day. If all of the above happens and I get something around the house done, the day is amazing!
-
If I get even one household chore done I shout it as soon as DH walks through the door - I DID THE LAUNDRY TODAY!!!
Taking a shower is bonus.
-
When she takes a really good nap. When I get dressed.
-
-A good nap
-Some fun playtime with DS
-I got a shower
-The house is relatively clean/I did my chore for the day
-Dinner is ready when DH gets home
-No double meltdowns -
@MamaChin: lol, when DH gets home, I say "DID YA NOTICE?" as I wave my arms around the kitchen. I am trying to show him the dishes are done haha
-
If we get out of the house
If I get a load of laundry in
If I don't have a counter full of dishes
If we play togetherHistorically he has needed his sleep so this usually isn't an issue. Dinner is the only task I look forward to, so it always gets done.
-
-an outing or activity during the day
-my nightly, make dinner, feed dinner, vacuum dinner, bathe because they're a mess from dinner routine has to happen -
- Everybody napped/ate reasonably well
- We did something semi-educational (working on this...a lot of the recent blogs have me thinking about doing more arts and crafts/sensory stuff)
- I did some sort of cleaning or laundry
- I took a break and managed to shower
- There's AT LEAST a plan for a healthy dinner and the ingredients to do it...if DH cooks, that's a successful day, too!
