Hi Rania,
I saw you on the show today and I can relate. I too do all the "wifely" duties and my husband helps out but there can always be more help. I found organizing my "to do" list helped me out. When I make my lunch or dinner for the family, I make my husband's lunch for the next day, at the same time. I put his drink, sandwich, and snacks all together in the fridge, then in the morning all he has to do it put it in the container and walk out the door. We got a coffee pot with a timer on it, so his coffee is waiting for him when he gets up. Also, I have an almost 9 month old son, in addition to my 10 year old daughter. I make sure everyone's (including my husband's work clothes) are laid out the night before, so there is no thinking about it in the morning (make sure you check the weather the night before). Also, I make a picher of formula at one time and pour at least 6 bottles and have a section in the fridge dedicated to just the baby's bottles. At this age, 6 bottles will give me 2 days before I need to make more formula. I make 2 concentrated cans at a time. I have different bottles I use for his juice and I have them set up ahead of time as well. I use a pot I bought just to warm his formula. Put the stove on high and stir the formula with your finger and it takes about 1 minute to warm, instead of lots of minutes doing it under running warm water. This is just what I can think of off the top of my head. I'm not sure you have to give up anything, but maybe just a little more organization will make it easier to get through such a busy day. I hope I have helped you a little. From one Mom to another, best of luck to you!!!!!
