[quote=Anonymous]Yes, more of what everyone else has been saying. Work in shifts, stagger/schedule meetings around your partner and naptime, let a lot of things go, give up almost all personal time, eat a lot of ready-made meals or takeout, give the kids wayyy more screen time that you'd like, and hope that there's no long term damage. DH and I are lucky enough to have very stable city jobs with a reasonable amount of flexibility and a very supportive culture. I genuinely don't know how single parents/parents with one working out of the house manages. (though if you'd asked me a year ago whether our situation was tenable I'd have said no! So you just make it work somehow..). I have a 4yo and 18mo and both have been in school/daycare since the summer. As someone above said I too have a degree of PTSD from the spring and am incredibly anxious about having to do this all over again this winter.[/quote]
