SAHM - The typical daily routine

A friend recently posted a comment on my Facebook status with this acronym, SAHM. I didn't know what it means initially and came to know that it means Stay At Home Mum (after googling it).

It has been a year now that I am a full time mum or should I say SAHM  =). When I was still working in the corporate world, I did not understand why full time mums always complained that there are so much to do at home. Take care of the children, do house chores and cook. What is so hard?!

You may think it's a simple job too but now that I am SAHM, I can attest that it is hard word!! It's a 24x7x365 job. There is no such thing as sick leave, annual leave, public holiday etc.

So, what is my typical routine as a SAHM?

Note: The timing may vary but generally, the scope of job is the same.

Morning:-
7 - 8 am : Milk time & changing time for baby
8 - 9 am : Breakfast time for baby and mum. Mum will check her emails.
               On Mon & Tues, send baby to nursery.
9 - 11 am : Free and easy for baby. He will play around but mum spend most of the time stopping him from playing things he is not suppose to.
11 am - 12 pm : Prepare & cook lunch for baby

Afternoon:-
12 - 1 pm : Lunch time for baby and mum
1 - 2 pm : Nap time for baby. Some 'me' time for mum.
2 - 3 pm : Play time for baby & milk time
3 - 4 pm : Tea time for baby and mum
4 - 5 pm : Play time for baby. Mum still have to keep an eye on baby.
5 - 6 pm : Prepare dinner for dad and mum.
               On Mon & Tues, pick baby from nursery.
6 - 7 pm : Dinner time for baby. Cook dinner for dad and mum.

Evening:-
7 - 8 pm : Shower time for baby. Dinner time for dad and mum. If dad is           home early, will help to shower baby.
8 - 9 pm : Put baby to bed
9 pm : Relaxation time for mum and dad too  =)
10.30 pm : Mum will be in bed by this time. All tired out for the day.

Looks like a simple routine huh? I can honestly tell you it is not! It's more tiring than going to work daily. Most mums would agree they would rather go to work than being a full time mum..LOL! There will be more work if you have more than one child. I can imagine! Whatsmore when kids start to fight among each other for toys or wanting your attention all the time.

So, have you got any typical routine as a SAHM to share? =)
