Hey all SAHM,
Just thinking about a doctor phil episode i watched the other week about a woman who treated her household like a large corporation and she even jokingly referred to her kids as staff. She was a bit over the top, but she was also very very efficient, she made sure that the chores were done before they could go and play, she took care of her husband and kids, making sure all their needs were met and her house was always clean and tidy.
It got me thinking, when i had a normal job, i was super efficient, thrived on stress, loved having things to do and goals to set and acheive. Then, becoming a SAHM, i don't have any motivation to do anything, my house is always messy, dishes are always in the sink, floors get vacuumed maybe once a month! lol. Washing gets done every couple of days, but i don't iron anything! I would say i am a pretty lazy person when it comes to household stuff. But i know i am not the only one. So it got me thinking if i were to treat it as more of a job and take pride in things like cleaning up after meals etc etc i could have a much tidier house and maybe fit more things in if i used good time management.
I guess some people automatically take to the SAHM role, but i think i need a bit more focus and dedication! lol If i were getting paid to do it, i probably would have been fired by now!! :laughing:
Maybe i should give myself a job description and an evaluation on how i'm doing, and ways i can improve my job!! :laughing: Sounds a tad crazy, but it might work!!
So my question is, are you the CEO of your company?? What are the jobs you do in your role as SAHM?
