[quote=Anonymous]It sounds like you have a ton of time! I have four year old (who doesn't nap) and a one year old. We get up between 6:00 and 6:30 am EVERY day and alternate who gets to workout, sleep in, do chores, etc. We let the four year old watch a movie during the one year old's afternoon nap on the weekend so we can take care of paperwork, etc. And we have a baby-sitter come every other Saturday morning for four hours so we can do something for ourselves. My husband will sometimes take the kids to the playground or for a walk solo before dinner so I can organize the house and/or cook dinner. Most yard work we outsource, but if we're doing it ourselves, one of us plays with the kids in the yard while the other one is working. All the other stuff I end up doing during the workday while the kids are with the nanny or after they go to bed. I still feel like I never have enough time and am always behind but am trying to accept that's life with young kids.

Instead of trying to do everything as a family on the weekend, I do think it's helpful to tradeoff with your spouse for a few hours each day in the afternoons. [/quote]
