[quote=Anonymous]The older child will be in school, the middle in preschool.

Join a gym with childcare so you can workout during the day.  Have a babysitter you like that has available daytime hours for if you need a haircut, Dr appt, dentist, a lunch with friends, etc.

Other than that, I never had a nanny or childcare before preschool.  I would do chores and cook with the toddler, it’s fine, and developmentally good for them. I liked to use their nap time to relax myself.

Yes, to having older kids do same activities to make your life easier.  Say no to dance and gymnastics. And travel sports.

As for dinner, I don’t really think about it.  I shop a few times per week for fresh ingredients and just cook when cook per normal before we eat.  I don’t make anything super complicated though.  Rice/potatoes/pasta, a protein, a vegetable, sauces. Pretty much no dinner is taking more than 30 min hands on time. I do bake a lot: fresh breads, muffins, cookies.  Those I make in the mid morning. Kids eat after school [/quote]
