[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I was a night owl. I love sleep. When I had my first child, I thought I would never survive a baby waking me up at 4:30-5am everyday. Then I had a second baby two years later. I took whatever broken sleep I could get. For years, our kids would wake up by 6am. Now that they are 4 and 6 years old, they wake up at 7-7:30. This is new in our house. They go to sleep around 8:30. DH and I go to sleep around 9-10. DH wakes up by 6 to get ready for work. I am no longer a night owl. I need my 7-8 hrs of sleep. You just adjust.[/quote] PP again. I would recommend outsourcing as much as you can if you can afford it. We used to have our old nanny come to our house on Sundays while DH and I relaxed. We did not have to burden the other so we could get a break. That improved our marriage greatly. She did our laundry, cooked meals, tidied up, made our beds, could watch kids alone for an hour or two if DH and I wanted to step out. DH and I were home and spending quality time with our kids and with one another but did not have to lift a finger catching up on housework. It was really nice.[/quote]
