[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am a stay at home parent with a spouse that does a significant amount of work travel. We have a 2 and 3 year old. I am really struggling with not losing my patience by the end of the day, especially on weeks of heavy travel. If you’re in this situation can you share any tips on days that you’ve hit your limit or just what is realistic in terms of being with children all the time. I think maybe it may be personal to me. I don’t see other stay at home moms as stressed from being with the kids. Going back to work would be nearly impossible with my husbands insane travel schedule.

My kids are in school. The 3 year old goes 25 hours a week and the 2 year old goes 10. 3 year old us very high energy and the 2 year old has some special needs so we go to a lot of appointments. [/quote]

yes I don't understand the OP .. your kids are in school a decent amount . so you are home with none of them at least 10 hours a week .. ?[/quote]

Working parent here (no WAH). I am NEVER at home without a kid underfoot. I would give so much for 10 hours a week alone... only way to swing that is to burn vacation while they are at daycare.

Sure weekends, maybe spouse can take them, but generally we have to divide and conquer.

But you are at work 40 hrs a week without kids...not an equally comparison at all.  [/quote]
