[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’m a single mom. I make about 80K, don’t receive child support. I workout 3-5 times a week and I love my sleep. I leave work just in time to work out before pickup. Sometimes, this has meant having a night so clean house. Right now, I’ve finally organized and decluttered my condo. I started meal prepping a few months ago.

When you’re ready for change, you’ll change and not a moment sooner. I had the convenient single mom excuse. I was always tired and behind on sleep and chores. Then I met my single mom friend of a similar income with two kids who works out 5-6 days a week and she inspired me to do better. [/quote]

What are those exact hours? Before is 7 am, pickup is 6pm, so 7am drop off, 730 get to work, leave 4, get to gym at 430, leave gym 530, home by 6?[/quote]

Sorry aftercare by 6, then home 630?[/quote]

Leave home at 645, 710 drop off, work 745-445, workout 530-625, pickup at 630 across the street. Home at 7/710. Meal prep on weekends with another cook day on Wednesday nights. Kid does HW in aftercare most days or as soon as we arrive home. Sometimes I pack dinner along for the car ride home. We have long days, live nowhere near school, but it works. Live in DC, work in VA, school is in MD. My kid prefers getting up at 530am while I’m up at 6. This is after years of power struggles in the morning. Older elementary kid FYI. I have no backup if I’m running late. I have one day per week to work til 530 if needed and another to add in an errand (groceries, nail appointment, take a nap in the car even). Breakfast is in the car unless DC eats at home. Bedtime at 9/930 and I’m in bed by 10.

Summertime is 8-6pm camp and I work 9-5 with out a lunch break and hope for a decent commute. Workout at 645pm twice during the week. Kid is up at 645, I’m at 7.
