[quote=Anonymous]What you are describing is not how it happens in my house.
Typically one parent got the kids from aftercare and the other parent headed home to get dinner going.  This flexed daily based on both parents work schedule.
We also needed to get 1 kid to OT in the later afternoon one day a week so we flexed to that - typically one parent get to OT and the other would get dinner going and pick up from OT.
One child is dyslexic and needs more support with homework - one with ADHD and needs a lot of executive functioning support especially in the evenings.
If we had a must do work event in the evening - we had it on the calendar and we would shoot for no more than 1 a week between the 2 of us - but sometimes it was outside of our control.
Gym was early morning - my DH would be there when the doors opened to get a workout in before the kids were up. 
I had forced "me" time once a week on the weekend as I signed up for either a Yoga class or something else.   In addition we had "we" time when the kids were in Religious Education on Sunday and we would go for a walk and get coffee.
