[quote=Anonymous]Does it count when they are sleeping? If my two youngest (1 and 3) nap at the same time, I can generally get 30-60 minutes a day without having to supervise them. Although I don’t know if it’s really free if I can’t leave the house! And the naps don’t always work out for me, maybe 3 times a week? My husband takes all 3 kids on at least one weekend morning, sometimes both, from about 7-10am while I sleep. I do all night wakings for the kids, and the 1yo doesn’t sleep through the night, so I need the sleep. I go out with friends maybe one or two evenings a month, usually after the baby is in bed. We don’t have any family locally, but grandparents come to visit maybe once every 6 weeks, and then I have much more free time to run errands or meet up with friends. My life was MUCH better when we had a sitter for 10 hours a week, but we are trying to save money so cut that out. If we had more money, I would for sure try to hire someone again. [/quote]
