What's your daily routine at home? email this discussion to a friend?

myLot reputation of 89/100. yamiboo (313)3 years ago

For stay-at-home moms, what's your daily routine at home? We usually wake up at 10am, have breakfast, then I bathe them at around 11, lunch at 12 or 1230pm, let them play till 230, 230 kids' afternoon naptime, when they wake up around 4pm, afternoon snack, let the kids play again while i try to do other chores and work-from-home stuff, clean room, 7pm dinner, afterwhich i try to find time for myself, 9pm kids' night bath, lights out at 1030pm or 11pm. When the kids are asleep already, it becomes a "myself time" so I try to do things I can't do when they're awake like surfing the net, replying to my emails, additional work-at-home stuff, etc, and end up sleeping around 3am. What's your usual day like?

(the foregoing schedule is usually from Monday - Friday; it's my "day off" work on Saturdays & a part of Sunday, so it's usually family day on weekends)


myLot reputation of 89/100. yamiboo (313)  3 years ago

Wow, seems like you have a routine that you follow everyday.:) Just curious, on your "day off", what do you usually do? It's good that you have a time off from your chores/routine, I'm still trying to fit a "day off" or a "few hours off" in my schedule, hehe.


hdb425 (61)   ranked 2 out of 2 in stay-at-home mom  3 years ago

Hi! On my "days off", we usually go out to eat or visit the mall. But whenever we have the chance, my husband usually prepares an outing for our family to the countryside or the beach. However, there are also some days off that we just stay at home and watch DVD's (especially if we feel like doing a "24 series" marathon).


myLot reputation of 89/100. yamiboo (313)  3 years ago

ah, so day off is still with your hubby and kids? I thought that there was something you can do by yourself without the kids for a few minutes, I'd ask you for advice, hehe. My kids are stuck on me too, everywhere I go, they're with me, hehe.

When you are at home you dont have to take off anymore. unless you work with the company office premises.

my schedule:
5:30-7:30 wake up, baby drinks her milk; prepare my eldest(sofia) for school, her bath, breakfast, snack in school
7:30-10 sophia leaves for school w/ dad, prepare isabella for bath, eat her solid if she didn't drink any milk, reading time while helper1 cleans the house & eats her breakfast.
10am-1pm baby to helper1; i will eat my breakfast, give reminders to helper2 for chores & then they eat lunch & let the kids sleep, while i would sleep for 2 hours if possible, prepare for the day, take a bath.
1pm-12mn start and end of my work.


myLot reputation of 98/100. im_anna (571)  3 years ago

forgot, i monitor the in-between time from:
3-5pm sophia wakes up, help her do the assignment while helper2 does the household chores, or sometimes the helper if it's easy, then sophia's snack time. Isabella with helper1 to eat her solids.
5-7 playtime for sophia, helper2 to prepare dinner. our dinner time is 7pm with everybody since sophia needs to sleep at 8pm. sometimes i would back to work by 5pm, or 6pm until 11pm or midnight.
