[quote=Anonymous]I'm jealous that the OP and PPs have nannies. I've been a single parent (24/7/365) for 13 yrs and it does get easier. Little kids are just tiring. If you've got the money to throw at stuff (cleaning person, grocery delivery, etc) do that first. If not, try to trade with friends or neighbors. Once a month, my neighbor and I would babysit each other's kids and we would rotate getting a weekend afternoon off. We made a pack to do at least one non-kd/house related thing during our free afternoon. It was great! I would get coffee and and wander around the bookstore or go see a movie or get a pedicure. I honestly didn't have the money for it but it saved my sanity just having something to look forward to. Don't count the days until your spouse returns. You can do this. It may not be clean and on time but you can do it.[/quote]
