Do you do your housework before work or when you come home?

I try to do a bit before I go to work and then do more when I get home . The reason I wait and do the rest when I get home is that I know while I am gone it is only going to get messed again while I am at work as while I am gone there is still my husband and the rest of the children here and whoever else comes over to visit while I am at work .

I always did mine on my day off. I did dishes and laundry every day after I came home. I have been so sick lately that my husband has been doing alot of my housework on his day off.

I hate housework with a passion. I wish it didn't have to be done, but it usually gets done when my daughter goes to bed otherwise she gets everything out and messes it up again.

I do mostly everything before bed-- I tidy the house up then- do dishes after dinner. I don't have time to clean up in the morning- I'm not a morning person- I have just enough time to get up shower and get ready- Half of the time I forget my lunch and other stuff. I hate waking up to a dirty house -- so I pick up at night- It doesn't take long if you do it every night- 15 minutes or so- Then I do the big cleaning job on the weekends.

For me its more like, I do some before my kid wakes up and some after he goes to bed. Otherwise, it just doesn't get done.

Oh! of course before work. Once you are tired you dont feel like doing any household jobs. The energy you have in the morning is quite high when compared to later stages. After returning home its only the bed seen in front of you. Once your daily routine is checked you are free to do any job without further tension.

Some people have to get very early in the morning and do not have the time or energy to get housework done before work. Plus a person does not want to wear themselves out and perform poorly at their job. Most people probably only have time to eat breakfast in the morning before work so skipping breakfast is much worse than waiting til later to do housework.

I don't work out of the house right now. When I did though, I did all the work when I came home. Yes, I was tired, but, I hated to rush in the morning with the stress of getting to work on time. I would do heavy chores on my day off, and lighter chores after work.

Man, when I was working it was a struggle in the morning just trying to get kids up, dressed, breakfast ate, back packs found and packed ...Then MOM has to rush to get ready for her day... What time for house work then? Through out the work week we just kept things picked up, the trash out and dishes done in the evenings after dinner. On the weekends the big chores were done laundry floors, that type of thing. Now I do a little all day long and its not hard to keep up.

I'm not sure what my habits for house cleaning are. I have noticed one house cleaning trend though. I always clean when I'm sick. I "threw" my back out and was cleaing with a Swiffer mop from the couch. I think I just try to take my mind off of being sick. I'll have a cold with my head stuffy and there I'll be, using s toilet brush to scrub my toilet.

Every one cannot do their housework before work.They must schedule their time for every work.But this is the problem for the women who r going for the job.Those who r in home can do their work leisurely.But 60% of the people do their housework before work and only 40% of the people do after work. It is better to do the housework before work.

I have to admit I don't get a lot of housework done after work. In fact, I had to go to a dr apt this morning and so I didn't go on to my mom's like I would normally. I came home & rounded up all the empty soda cans I could find - they had gotten blown around the yard, were tossed in my car, etc. It only took 40 minutes to do it myself, so it would've been even less time if the roomie & I had done it together, but we've been too tired. But I also know I'm not going to drag my fat, lazy butt out of bed early to do housework.
