[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You and DH need to work in shifts. That's what we do. Instead of 8-5, one person works 7-9 while other watches our kids, then swap and that person works 9-11, and so on. We then extend our workday into the evening or morning (one of us gets up at 5am to work then too).[/quote] This is what we did for three months, with our 5 year old, and I would recommend it. It helps that I'm a morning person and could get 2 hours of work done before the kids get up. Last week, we brought in a grandparent because even that was really difficult and we had no time to speak to each other. Even with the grandparent now living with us, he's thriving but we are absolutely exhausted and the house is dusty and messy (we prioritize cleaning the kitchen and bathrooms and doing laundry).
