[quote=Anonymous]OP:  Your schedule sound VERY similar to mine and my DHs minus the morning workout. But my kids are younger and they get an hour of screentime while I make dinner, lunches and get clothes laid out for the next day. (DH would send them to school in pajamas and sneakers if I didn't, I'm not kidding). If I can get all that done in an hour then I can have my much-cherished family time with the kids for the hour between dinner and baths/bed. The other difference though, is that DH does the laundry AND the dishes. If I had to do the dishes I don't think it would work. Him doing the dishes after he showers and eats dinner allows me 30 minutes to shower and get my clothes ready for the next day. DH and I have maybe an hour after the kids are asleep to ourselves before I pass out. If I'm ambitious I'll go for a run or to the gym. DH works out in the basement. But I'll admit I'm usually so exhausted by then I just want to sit on the couch. We clean as we can on weekends and the kids put all the toys away at the end of the day. Our house isn't dirty, but it's not immaculate, and if I wanted it to be that would eliminate any remaining time I had to spend with the kids. Priorities. [/quote]
