That must be night to have everyone pitch in. My hubby helps me out when he's not tired from work. My son likes to help me out by wiping the lower cabinets and the front of the stove down and picking up here and there, but he's only 5 and I'm unsure what other chores to introduce him to at his age. He does clean up his room, but it's often like pulling teeth to get him to.
We have my hubby's folks are with us for practical, lonesome and health reasons. It's easier for them to work at their jobs than to be at home cleaning. So I do most of it, although, it'd be really nice if they'd at least pick up after themselves a lot more or at all. It's like I have 2 extra kids I'm picking up after!
I try to balance my chores with giving myself personal time, too, but I should probably put myself on a schedule and divy out the responsibilites a bit more, so I'm not feeling so overwhelmed all of the time.
