This is such a needed blessing for young parents and a joy for grandparents as well. Generations helping each other is really gone missing from childcare and eldercare.

Curious can you lay out how you do this?

Kids school start at 7 (we have 7, 8, and 9 am drop offs because we are “walk zone” but still really far). Do you go to gym at 5am?

We work 9-530, then start making dinner, usually have one kid activity and help with homework or cleaning something. Last kids go to bed at 9, and by then I still have dishes to clean from dinner, probably some other laundry.

We like spending time with our kids befor bed, so we dont rush them to bed but to get up at 5 after going to bed ourselves at 11 would be challenging.

How does your schedule look?


PP please come back and share how you make your schedule? Do you work PT?
