[quote=Anonymous]It is hard, OP. Hang in there. Pre-COVID, my spouse travelled frequently and I worked full time out of the home with 2 young kids in daycare and a 30 min commute, so it was tough. Having a set schedule and routine with the kids was important for weekdays, and I could be little looser on the weekends. Occasionally I asked my parents to come up to help. I ran errands on my lunch break at work, and any laundry, cleaning, and cooking happened after the kids were in bed. I kept the overall standards low. Now that I work from home a few days a week, I have more flexibility to get some of these things done during the day, so that helps as well. When your spouse is home, I would recommend taking some time for yourself out of the home, getting together with friends, etc. Look into getting an occasional sitter or mother's helper if you feel like you need some extra assistance while your spouse is away.[/quote]
