[quote=Anonymous]Yes, build roster of babysitter and hire cleaners. Who will be picking up the kids the two days a week you have to commute?

Other ideas:
Buy a bunch of healthy snacks 4 year old can get himself if you can grab on the way out the door.  You can also prep snacks and ingredients one night a week after kids are in bed:

String cheese

Boiled eggs

Thin cut sticks

Cut fruit

Individual yogurts

For breakfast, you can make a big pot of oatmeal and stick in fridge, make and freeze breakfast burritos to be zapped in the microwave. I know people here do a big batch of pancakes and freeze, but it seems like a lot of work for not much nutritional payoff.

4 year old should be able to make his own snack or lunch sometimes. If he hasn’t, start teaching him.

If you haven’t, invest in a couple toys that you know will keep the 4 year old occupied and self sufficient for a good chunk of time. For my kid, that’s Magnatiles, sticker mosaics, craft things like putting stars and planets up on the wall. [/quote]
