[quote=Anonymous]If my 5 and 8 year old are home, they may (but may not) play with the 3 year old and then I can get up to an hour of time with minor interruptions. Or there could be a ginormous battle of the wills and I spent all the time parenting. It's a dice roll. Even if they are playing together nicely or even watching a movie I can't imagine getting 2 straight uninterrupted hours. That's what other adults (spouse, babysitter, grandparents, etc.) are for. If it's just the 3 year old and I, sometimes she "helps" as I do things, or plays nicely (and she was not the color for 20 minutes type of 1 or 2 year old) nearby for maybe 15 or 20 minutes before she starts asking to play Candyland.[/quote]
