[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If you and your spouse both work, do you get non-work, kid-free time on a regular basis? If so, what happens to allow it?[/quote] First, know that it's temporary. In few years, you'll miss their childhood. Second, you find paid or volunteer (family, in-laws, friends or neighbors) who are trustworthy and good with children so you can take some time for yourself. Third, take turns with your spouse. Three hour a week one hour segment or full 3 hr in one go), one person holds fort while other does takes off personal time. Fourth, leave work early once a week and use that time to do whatever you like to do while hubby and kids are at work and school. Be fair and provide similar opportunities to your spouse as well.
