[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The kids should be old enough to do something independently. No? I'd get it if they were little, but how "on" do you need to be for kids that age? Why can't you get time to yourself as well, if you want it? [/quote]

You can’t simultaneously complain about his nap interfering with a go-go-go day of activities and complain that you don’t get any downtime.

If you want downtime too, that’s your chance. Family policy, downtime from 2-4 (or whatever). Sounds great. If the kids are tweens, they can also get downtime (or even screen time). If they’re teens, let them take a short afternoon adventure by themselves.

If you WANT to be go-go-go then you plan the activities dad’s least interested in for the 2-4 block.

If you had like a 4 and 6 year old and were complaining about having to be in charge of the kids for two hours every day while dad naps, I’d be on your side. But it seems like you have two perfectly good options here, and this isn’t actually making more work for you or taking anything from you. [/quote]
