[quote=Anonymous]It will be a long time, hugs. I won’t say enjoy it because it goes fast ( even though it does) because when you are living it it feels never- ending. However, can you find a young neighbor to come in after school for an hour? Even a 10-11 yr old ( if you are in house) can sit on the floor and play, sing, read with your dc. I did this with a neighbor’s daughter for 30 minutes in the beginning so I could simply go to the basement to do laundry or home office to pay bills, make phone calls. As she became a teen and my dc got older I would go for a neighborhood walk. Also as they get older you can start quiet time. They simply have to stay in room for 5 min, 10 min, until whatever time you eventually think best (30 min - hour). They may fight at first but I think by age 2 you should be able to try. Mine are late teens so I can’t remember! Hang in there. [/quote]
