[quote=Anonymous]Honestly? You might consider dropping your AWS so that you can have shorter days, which will allow you to spend more time with the kids in the evening. You may also consider starting and ending an hour earlier. I get in at 8:00 and leave at 4:00, which allows us time to make a quick dinner and play a little in the evenings. My baby goes to sleep at 7:00-7:30 and my older child goes to sleep at 8:00. We get "me time" in the evenings and on the occasional day off to run errands. Right now, both kids nap at the same time, so that also gives me some time to run errands or get something done in the house. Not going to lie, it is TOUGH. I was lucky enough to have a three year age gap, which has been really good because my older child is a little more self sufficient than a two year old will be. Once the baby is two or three, I anticipate we will feel a lot better about things.[/quote]
