[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Many parents with 2+ young kids have help (either family members or they hire someone to help with afternoon/evening routines). It makes life so much easier to have someone else helping with kids![/quote] I really don't think this is the norm. Most parents trudge through it alone, doing the best they can. Some nights are very tough. OP just needs to keep tweaking the routine until she finds what works for her.[/quote] Yup, this. I have 3, each about 2 years apart. For the initial stages DH helped, but once we could consistently lay the baby down and expect baby to sleep (rather than having to soothe to sleep), he often was doing projects around the house in the evenings because it was his only time to do them if we wanted them done. That left me doing bedtime. My only survival tactic was to always put baby to bed first and to cultivate as much independence in my older kids as was reasonable.[/quote]
