[quote=Anonymous]We have four kids and both of us work. I work part time overnights Thursday and Friday. I homeschool my oldest who has high functioning autism, so he gets a lot of attention from me during the school day. We have a sitter who takes the younger kids to school Friday mornings and stays overnight if both DH and I have to work. I cook fairly simple meals. We have a routine that includes exercise, homework, and music practice. I only put kids in activities that they are interested in, so I don’t spend a lot of time trying to coerce them to do things that they don’t want to do. We are a no screen family, so they have some incentive to want to do something :). We tend to socialize during the school day or as a family with kids in tow. DH and I have “date days” while kids are at school and DS is at the homeschool co-op we go to rather than date nights. I don’t know. It works for us. [/quote]
