[quote=Anonymous]Do you also work? Do the kids go to daycare? One thing I found that sometimes helped when my DH traveled, was to use a little leave here and there for me. So I'd leave work an hour early, and instead of picking up the kids, I'd go home and take care of some things. I'd change my clothes, I'd prep dinner, I'd empty the dishwasher etc. Then I'd go get the kids. That way, I could be 100% ON DUTY with the kids, without being pulled in quite so many directions. Still hectic, but it helped me. I'd also occasionally ask for some more work from home time. Now, since the pandemic, I wish I'd used this more. I wouldn't hesitate to use this as a reason now. But my work place has been pretty flexible. Also drop your standards. Use paper plates, eat TJ's frozen meals, have pasta or eggs for dinner. Meal prep when DH is home, if you can. But otherwise, quick and simple it the name of the game.[/quote]
