I recently had my MIL say I’m lazy and I don’t do enough with my kids 🫠 This is my daily schedule M-F and I’m just wondering, am I truly not doing enough? For starters I am a stay at home mom but I also work from home.

1. Wake up around 7am. Make breakfast and get myself and both kids ready (4 and 2 yr old)

2. Drop off 4 yr old at preschool

3. Come home and let my 2 yr old play while I read and drink some coffee

4. Make lunch for myself and 2 yr old

5. Clean up, put 2 yr old down for a nap

6. This is when I get to do my work (on a computer)

7. 2 yr old wakes up, he plays and we go pick up my 4 yr old from school

8. Come home, serve a snack, do laundry or clean up the house a bit more while the kids play

9. Cook and have dinner

10. Clean up the kitchen for the night

11. Watch some tv while the kids play

12. Give the kids a bath and put them to bed

Like I am failing to see what MORE I could do? She thinks I need to be taking them to a park or playing with them outside more but during the week I don’t know when to squeeze that in. On the weekends we do spend a lot of time outside and go places.
