Do You Clean House While Your Family is In Bed?

Ask:
I've been thinking...when people are underfoot, I don't do the best job cleaning, or I don't want to because I want to spend time with them. Do any of you do laundry, mop, etc...after your family has gone to bed?? On the same token, do you get up really early in the morning to accomplish any of these tasks?
Answer:

I do a lot at night - it's just easier without the six little feet on the floor. We are both more awake at night than early, and it's easier to get my DH to help at night.

If I could only find a silent vacuum - I would be in business!!!
Answer:

Yes. It is SO much easier!! I have even gotten up at 4 Am to start cleaning before
Answer:

Yes

I do almost everything when they are asleep. Otherwise two rooms get destroyed for every one I clean!
Answer:

I do a lot when my kids are up but my most productive time is when they are in bed! I used to stay up regularly until 1-2am but I just can't do it any more.
Answer:

Great Day, YES!!! I am a night owl & do most everything at night. You won't see me up early to do anything except pull the covers back up!
Answer:

yes! I would way rather sleep. but i know when everyone is up, nothing gets done. I need little magic elves to come and clean my house at night so I can sleep.
