[quote=Anonymous]Not sure this would work for you, but what worked for us was me leaving for work early in the am (before everyone is awake) and DH being in charge of getting the kids out of the house and to daycare/school/whatever. We started this when our second was a baby so have been doing this for about 10 years now. Not only did that give DH alone time with the kids to appreciate what a juggling act parenting can be and without my trying to have things done my way, it also made him more sensitive to the importance of bedtime. Bonuses were that (1) I got ready for work in a silent house, and (2) shifting my schedule earlier gave us calmer evenings all around. We are not a perfectly equal parenting team at all times, but we both understand what it takes and appreciate each other’s efforts.[/quote]
