[quote=Anonymous]I did. When they were pre school age and in daycare and I came home from work it was easy and the evenings were whatever we wanted them to be. Once they started school, you lose that. They have homework and activities and the evenings get harder and harder. I always said I can't imagine how hard it would have been had I been exhausted from a day at work. I take a little down time to myself in the morning for about a half hour after they go off to school, but I have picked up so much of what DH used to do around the house and running our household that I am super busy, never bored -- Never sit around for 6 hours. It has taken a tremendous amount of stress off of me -- I still have a ton to do but it is at my own pace and my own priorities and my house is a little more organized and little cleaner and I cook a few better meals and have a little more time to shop more cost effectively. DH has been able to focus more on his job since I have picked up so much of what he has done at home so his income has increased and kind of made up for my loss of income. [/quote]
