[quote=Anonymous]I skipped through a lot of replies because it seemed like people were trying to just criticize you.

My kids are 6 and 4 and I remember feeling like you when they were younger. I felt like we had very limited windows to do stuff -- mornings were basically it. Our kids needed set nap times or all fell apart. If they fell asleep on the go, we were screwed. And by the time they got up after their naps and were ready to go out, it felt like we were already winding down for dinner time/bed time. It was really hard and felt restrictive. And, I DID nap when they napped - as much as possible - because I was exhausted all the time.

Honestly, that all shifted when my youngest stopped napping around 3.5. Now, we have the whole day to do stuff. I was just marveling this weekend at how much we can do and get done now -- exercise for the parents; errands (I NEVER felt like I had time for errands before); and family activities / kids stuff.

So, not so much advice as to say that I can relate and imo it's the season you're in. It'll change. It'll get easier. And I hear, it'll get harder again too (when kids activities and social stuff really picks up).[/quote]
