I am seeing that I am having to spend more and more time on here to make a few $$. I am wondering how all of you do this and keep your houses clean and take care of your families. I am struggling with this lots. I need any and all advice possible.

It is as simple as spending a certain amount of time on the net doing the important ones first and then do some house work if you keep things done every day you will find that it really isn't hard now when it comes to the family depending upon age of children you can set time to spend with them up as well as your partner you just learn where to priorities the needs and the wants if you know that you are about at payout on a site then keep it done first and try to get refs under you it helps to reach payout faster and some times there is just not a solution other then fancy juggling of all the things.

I guess most of us do it about the same way. we just go back and forth and do what has to be done and keep working.

I am sorry I only used that term because I don't know if people are married or not so to say partner does not necessarily mean living with someone I have a friend who has a partner but they live in different places,so I am sorry to have offened you it was not a personal attack I was just using a term that would include a spouse,friend,boy and/or girl friend so I may have just used the term wrong in your eyes I apologies to you and anyone else who thinks the term partner is demeaning.

I'm married. Don't like the term partner. It assumes that I am living with someone without the benefit of matrimony. So please do not assume. You have to set a certain amount of time for the computer and housework. And if you spend too much on the computer, your eyes get tired, so then you get the vacuum cleaner, read to your kids, make lunch or supper, get the dustcloth, pick things off the floor, but use at least half an hour to do it.

Well, I personally have a wife, so, of course, I don't actually do any cleaning and we don't have any kids. Guess how hard I am going to get smacked when my wife sees this post.;) Comedy can be painful.

I think you could be right LOL but true though if you have a partner to help it is great and if you have no children that works out good as well Tell the wife not to smack you to hard you were just making her a penny LOL

My puter is on all day from 9am to midnight or so.. I work online for a while and then get up and move around cause I get stiff.. While I'm up I put stuff back in the cupboard after its dry or throw a load in to wash.. I vacumn while I run my virus scanner and stuff like that.. My husband looks at me strange but the house stays clean and I still am on the puter most of the day.. You gotta learn to multi task.. When you get up to go to the bathroom grad a rag and wipe down the counters in there which if your smart you do after every shower anyway so it never gets really dirty.. And I agree theres no reason the kids can't help with some of the cleaning.. They need to learn how and share the duties for later in life.. I don't agree with the idea that house work is womens work.. If everybody shares all the chores nobody is stuck while the others are off having a good time or everybody comming back to a mess.. Tammy by the way I opened an online wholesale store if you'd like to visit its at http://www.wholesale-store-online.com

All my kids are grown so it is left to my husband and I to keep the house so it isn't that bad to keep. When my grandchildren come, they have been taught to clean up their messes, so they do a pretty good jobof that. Yes, I am learning that I have to multi-task. I turn my computer on at 7 after my bathroom stuff is done and then it goes off around 9 or 10 when I get ready for bed. Thanks so much for your comments and help.

I'm a full time housewife and I don't spend much time here in mylot, whether I like it or not, I still have to do my household chores. When all the work have been done, that is the time I have to sit here and concentrate in making a few dollars. Like you, I'm also a newbie here.

I see you have prioritized the order of what you do and that is good you can most often be more efficient this way.

Yes, you have your life organized and in the proper perspective. I admire you for that. I wish I could make myself do certain things in a proper order. I have lots of work to do on that matter.

Oh, mamacathie, I'm so struggling with this too. I've spent my time raising my kids and now my youngest is a senior in high school. I feel like I need to be making money somehow, but I'm not qualified to get a good job. I think I've tried everything on the net to make money. But, when I'm on here, I'm not getting my housework done. It is so confusing to know what the right thing to do it. I'm very interested in how others respond to your question.

I definitely know where you are coming from, Sherry. I have struggled with this but there is lots of great advice coming on this discussion. We just have to make ourselves get up and stir and do a few things and come back and work a while more. Even when we go to the bathroom, we need to do a few things on the way and on the way back. Thanks for your commments and we'll get this ironed out.
