[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It is more difficult for us to handle our late elementary and middle school children than our toddlers/preschoolers. More demands are made on the children. Varied schedules for activities pulls us all over the place. We are older now and tired of working so hard.[/quote]

+1 and we are are not a family that over schedules. DS is not on a travel team and only does 1 or 2 sports a year. It is exhausting because he's also in after care and we don't get home until after 5. When practice is from 7-8 it is tiring for everyone and we are always trying to squeeze in homework.  I go early so I can pick up both kids and be home by 5. DH goes later to do mornings but then works late every evening.  Neither of us can telework. It's easier with our preschooler because there isn't homework and she is happy playing outside. It will be busier in a few years when they both have activities but then hopefully I can carpool.

Yes, we are older and tired but I couldn't have handled being a SAHM during the baby years. Part time and having afternoons off or having flexibility would be ideal. [/quote]
