[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I agree that for the weekdays you need a sitter or mother’s helper.  You can try to time naps so that toddler goes down at 12:45 and then get a teen from the neighborhood to take him to the library or park or play quietly with him from 2:30-5:30.

As for soundproofing, I would put padding or bubble wrap on the walls and door, cover the crack under the door and set up a white noise machine.  Also try using a headset with a microphone so that it is picking up sound right near your face and gets less of the ambient noise.

But I agree that there is no way a toddler won’t require time and attention for 3 hours, let alone be quiet that long.  Could you find an afternoon preschool 3 days per week?[/quote]

Op. I haven't heard of afternoon preschools? Unfortunately my salary is very low. Childcare would be all of my paycheck. I am not sure if it makes sense to work but I really do not like being a stay at home mom. [/quote]

This isn't feasible.  You are expected to work during your work hours, right?

It won't go well with a toddler. [/quote]
