Honestly, I've been finding it difficult myself. Because when I was in India we had house maids who would stay with us and help us through. And the maid service also didn't cost much.

I don't believe they do accomplish everything. unless they have nannies and house cleaners galore - and if that's the case more than likely they aren't with the kids enough. I would rather have a messy house and happy kids then a spotless house and ignored kids. That being said I never imagined how little I would get done once I started staying home. The chores still wait until the weekend. But if I was doing them all during the week what would my kids be doing?

When I was out on maternity leave I got less done most days. The difference was that when my Husband got home from work I wouldn't feel guilty about taking time away from my little one to do laundry, dishes, etc....Now that I am back at work I don't feel right taking time away from my baby to do those chores so they wait. Some times I get 1 thing done a night sometimes it has to wait for the weekend. I sometimes worry about the effect of not having a clean house on my child. Right now he isn't crawling or walking so if the floors get a little dirty it can wait until the weekend. I can see that being more of a problem later. I don't think many Moms can accomplish everything. My advise is don't be too hard on yourself Super Moms are rarely Happy Moms.
