[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You and your spouse need to set up a schedule for the day, and then you need to divide up who is taking what part of the schedule. It might be something like:

7-8am Kids get to watch tv 
8-9am Breakfast and play games with Parent A. Parent B works
9-10am Go for a walk with Parent B. Parent A works
10-11am Color, art project, dance  with Parent A. No screens. Parent B works
11-12pm Chores with Parent A. Laundry, making beds, wiping down toys
12-1pm Lunch as a family
1-2:30pm Quiet time. No screens Kids rest in their rooms. Parents work
2:30-3:30pm Go for walk with Parent B
3:30-4pm Snack and TV show for kids 
4-5pm Read books, color, play games, dance, make music with Parent B while A works. 
5-6pm Prepare dinner with Parent B.

Then switch off. The more structure you provide, the better. You have schedule in time to be together as a family and to know you can work without distraction. Worth a try. [/quote]

Pretty much this. And written out so you can point to it. I would do longer blocks because sketching every hour for parents it's hard to get any work done. We did before and after lunch with Dh. As much outside time running in a yard or empty field as possible. [/quote]
