[quote=Anonymous]Can you afford a part-time babysitter? When my husband and I had a similar schedule to yours we had a college or grad student who would work 4-7. She would pick my kids up from daycare and either cook for us or play with them while I cooked. I relied on meal kits a lot so I didn't have to worry about what she would make. Before we had her, I would make two big meals on Sunday and we would eat one Monday Wednesday and the other Tuesday Thursday. Things we like to do during those times include games, puzzles, playing with toys, playing sports, going for a walk, or just chatting. Our schedule is a little different now, but my kids also really like cooking with me, so if I have to cook on a weeknight, we do it together. We have a firm no screens during the week rule (comes from the kids' school so they don't fight it too hard). [/quote]
