[quote=Anonymous]We have a 5yo and an 11mo who are in daycare at a center about 5 minutes from our house. DH and I are both WFH due to the pandemic, so of course this will likely change in a few months, but here is ours: Up at 5:30AM. Shower and log into work by 6AM. Kids wake up between 7 and 7:15. I stop work for an hour to handle morning routine. Out the door and headed to daycare by 8AM. Work 8:15 until 4PM. One of us (usually me) stops work at 4PM to do daycare pickup. Home by 4:30. One hour to play with both girls and prep dinner. Dinner at 5:30. Bath, bottle, and bed for 11mo around 7PM. Another hour or so with 5yo one-on-one time until I start her bedtime routine around 8:15PM. She is in bed, lights out by 8:45 (late, I know...trying to shift her earlier backfires every time. She’s always been on the low end of sleep needs). I do chores around the house and prep for the next day until I go to bed at 9:30. Sometimes I end up needing to log back into work for a bit to handle emails, but I am trying to minimize that (yes, I am kind of mommy-tracked). I prioritize sleep for me, mainly because I have anxiety issues these days and just don’t sleep well anymore...I am almost always awake in the middle of the night for an hour or two. With this schedule and prioritizing sleep, I have no “me” time. I’m not happy about it, but I’ve gotten used to it.[/quote]
