For years I’ve wondered how I stack up to other parents and, in particular, others who are the primary ‘makers of home.’  I don’t remember the last time I washed the kitchen floor and is it gross that I only bathe the kids a few times a week? I’ve always wanted to know how often YOU get take out. My guess is that even if you and I aren’t doing things exactly the same way, someone else out there thinks that two weeks is an appropriate time to go between sheet washings and, like me, abhors running unless being chased.

So after noodling it for years, I’ve decided to throw out my burning questions in the form of a poll for our readers. (I also asked our other bloggers to give me their burning questions and I added those too). Now these questions are not meant to make you feel badly about yourself, your habits or your parenting styles. At CT Working Moms, our motto is Love More, Judge Less. We are hoping that by surveying parents about common things like parenting, home, work, self care and relationships and then reporting back to our readers that we’ll show parents that no matter what you’re doing, you’re not alone. Just as it’s important to love yourself, it’s also important to stop judging ourselves and holding ourselves to impossible and unrealistic standards. So take a few minutes and be honest. Your answers are anonymous.

And to sweeten the deal and give you a little something for your time, I’ve put together a nice little giveaway for one lucky reader valued at over $250! Nine people generously gave me something to give away, so please be sure to click on each link below to check out and support these great people. It’s never too early to start your holiday shopping.
