[quote=Anonymous]This is similar to us. I do the early-morning work (7-4, every other Friday off), husband does daycare and elementary before-care dropoff and works 9-5:30. I cook quickly, always a 30 minute meal, and we are done eating by 6:30. We don't do any kid activities on weeknights. The elementary schooler has two activities on Saturdays (one sport, one music). We do church Sunday morning and have Saturday afternoons and Sunday afternoons for fun, errands etc. We do one chore each night (clean bathrooms, vacuum, etc.) We do laundry by family-member loads, not combined, so there's less sorting later. DH and I fold laundry while watching TV at night. The major thing that's helped (and we've changed after it was too crazy in the past!) is the no weeknight activities. This is a huge lifesaver, and aftercare (school ends at 4, I pick kid up at 5) counts as an activity in my kid's eyes because it's fun. [/quote]
