[quote=Anonymous]DH and I both work full time. 5 month old and almost 3 year old. DHs job requires travel 1/month and he works very hard intense days and often from home on weekends. My job is limited to the work week but its demanding during the work week, but also very fulfilling. I do all food related stuff at home, and tend to have most dinners semi-prepared during the week. DH takes care of all other home chores- house work, financial upkeep, etc. DH tends to take care of toddler, while I am primary care giver for baby. We have a nanny which is a life saver and we outsource cleaning. But I still feel like I am drowning, esp when DH travels. Baby sleeps around 12 hours a night, but wakes 2 to eat. I am hoping we can eliminate one of those feeds by 6 months. I go to bed btwn 830-9 every night out of sheer exhaustion and feel like I have no life outside of work and parenting. is this normal? I know this phase wont last but right now I am just extremely exhausted and overwhelmed. How do other WOH parents with 2+ children handle it? What are you tricks?[/quote]
