Yes, I work three jobs and have to do it all, too. Do a wash load every night and have it folded and put away before you go to bed. Clean your bathroom thoroughly one night a week and clean the bowl, the sink and the tub every other night. Vacuum one night, dust another night, wash the floors another night and you should be in pretty good shape. It is hard to get it all done but, if you do a little every night, then you should be able to have a more relaxing weekend. If you do a portion of your house and break it up into four or five increments so that the entire house is done, it shouldn't take you more than an hour a night, maybe even less, depending on the size of your home. I would much prefer to do a little on each weeknight so I could have the weekends free for fun!

It's very hard to do. I'm a single mom and work a strange schedule so I work most weekends. The trick is to do a little each day. Don't save it all up for Saturday. I spot clean as I go. Like I load the dishwasher while my dinner is cooking (since I have to be standing there anyway) And I clean the shower while I'm in it. Takes 30 seconds to wipe the walls down while my conditioner is setting in. It really helps. Good Luck.

I clean everyday...something. My hardwoods are swiiffered daily, sinks are cleaned a couple of times a week, vacuum tough traffic areas quickly as often as needed, throw a load of laundry in when you can. There are myriads of ways to take the task off the weekends. Just tackle a little each day so it's not the big chore and you will find that most of what needs to be done is already done. Try taking on a little something while you are there. It will get better as you do it.

If you have time read some of this stuff.
Basically
I choose one day of the week for each chore and stick to it.
I clean the bathroom before I get in the shower. Let the dogs out and take the trash. Laundry on Tuesday, dust on Wednesday, vaccuum on Thursdays
etc.
Good Luck

Change husbands. I did. I traded in the old "I dont clean its for women" model for a younger version who does.
