Not unless it is an emergency all my chores wait till the little ones are sleeping and my Marriage is suspended till the kids move out . If it is a major project then I will do something with my family the day before I set to start it and work one day 7 am to 5 pm and stop. The it is two weeks before I look at it again. My wife and I try to set aside time sunday morning early early for just us time. After all we have our children for 13 years then they really have no interest in hanging out with ma and pa.
