Those are great suggestions! The issue for us is that our weekends are always busy. We’re active in our Bible ministry on Saturday and Sunday and we prefer to keep the evenings low key for family time. So weekdays are generally the best time for me to get the housework done. This is my last semester and, thankfully, it’s a lighter load than previous semesters, so I think I might make it. I really miss having a more relaxed schedule, though.

I had more time as a homeschooling parent, lol! My kids got more sleep and so did I. It seems to me you may want to change somethings about your schedule. Since I work, I save a lot of my ‘chores’ like clothes washing and such for the weekend. I made sure my kids had enough uniforms to last them so I only had to wash clothes on Saturdays. That was a ‘family’ chore. Make your day time like you would if you worked. Focus on your little one, your school work, and prepping dinner by either crockpot or oven baked meals so you don’t have to do prep when your other kids get home. It will give you more time to focus on them getting homework done, you prepping for their next day, and then getting them off to bed. After that, you can focus on finishing up any of your own school requirements and push most chores to the weekend.
