[quote=Anonymous]You’re not incompetent, OP. My kids are older now, but I definitely remember those days well-childless coworkers thinking I had it so great skipping out earlier than them, meanwhile I was off to the most difficult part of my day.

I did a fair amount of meal prepping on the weekends-a batch of boiled eggs, chopped vegetables, etc. Some nights the kids would get a quick easy dinner, then I would make something else for DH and me, and the kids would get the leftovers the next day. You might also have your nanny get their dinner on the table before she goes so they are starting to eat when you get home (this is what my friend with a nanny did-we used daycare so didn’t have that option.) Bath time was always part of our bedtime routine so I didn’t skip that, but I always bathed them together and then had the older child play quietly while I put the baby down.

The kids are always going to be clingy and cranky at that time of day. It’s the witching hour and it lasts well beyond the baby years. Now that the kids are older I use my noise canceling headphones and just let them do what they do.[/quote]
