I had a boyfriend that had chores to do after school every day and if they weren't done by the time his parents came home, he was grounded the next day. There were four kids 9-18 at the time and they all had stuff to do. It didn't take usually more than 20-30 minutes or so, but I swear their house was the cleanest I'd ever been in. You'd never know they had four kids.
I guess my point is, divvy up them chores! You'll have more time for yourself. I also don't believe that if you are a SAHM and your husband works, that means he can come home and sit down and do nothing for the rest of the night (which my husband tries). I mean, we get up at the same time, so why should his day end at 5 and mine end at 10 because no one's helping me? I don't make him wash the floors or do the laundry, but he can help with dinner, run to the store, take out the trash and entertain the kids if needed.
