[quote=Anonymous]I think I have the ideal set up.  I go into work early and get home by 3:30.  DH works from home - he's a hotel-er and takes care of the kids during the day, they are 5,3,and 1.  When I get home he goes to work and works until about midnight.  It's exhausting but we both get to spend time with the kids and have a schedule that works.

I get the kids to bed by 8-8:30, which gives me plenty of time with them and then they are still asleep when I leave for work at 6AM.  It also gives me an hour or two in the evening to fold laundry and get stuff cleaned up for the next day.  DH has times during the day where one is napping and the other 2 are playing outside that does give him a little down time.  I also have a remote working day during the week where I can help with meals and when we schedule pediatrician appointments and such.

I wish I had more time with DH, but we do chat during the day and do date night when we have family visiting from out of town.  I had about a 5 year gap with no sleep so right now that's a priority over working out or watching TV or date night.  Plus we both know this is temporary.  Once the youngest is in preschool he will be freed up to get more work done during the day and have his evenings free for family time as well.[/quote]
