And it’s never ending. Once you finishing sorting,washing,folding, ironing, and putting away. There’s already another basket waiting to start over!

My best strategy is to watch tv when I fold in order to treat myself lol

I hate laundry as well. I look at it as an opportunity... to destress, to zone-out, to listen to a podcast.
I do laundry on the days I work from home and put it away those nights while listening to audiobooks or podcasts. My kids' are involved with theirs. They help with sorting and we talk about life while this happens. We do this weekly or skip a week during crazy busy times.
I hate a lot of adulting chores... but must learn to embrace them... otherwise I'll walk around miserable. Look at the opportunities around you!

I don't mind washing and drying it. It's the time consuming folding and putting away that does me in. I've been considering asking my housekeeper to come an additional day a month and do a little less cleaning and help me with this chore.

My wife is in sales at Mercedes and she has been averaging $200k a year and growing YoY. She loves her job, however she works long days and barely gets time off. We plan on having kids within the next year or two, and it’s highly u likely that she’ll be able to keep her current gig. We want to find a career that allows her to work remote or that at least gives her a better work life balance so that she can see her kids grow up. Should she get certifications to give her a shot at adtech?Too late?

Additional Posts in Public Accountants with Children

Hadn’t noticed this sub before, and most of the threads are old so thought I’d ask a follow up - how has everyone been handling parenting with public accounting? I’ve got a toddler and my wife is an accountant (industry), and we only have a few immediate family in the country- but they have health concerns. Busy season was rough, things are looking better now as things return to normal. Still working crazy hours if you count the daycare duties on top of utilization targets.
