[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Ummm 0. I think putting a movie on for the 4yo while toddler naps is fine. You have a bit of a break even though you are still mentally on. I tho knots strange that your goal is just them not getting injured, you need to be proactive not reactive. We usually go out in the mornings. Hike, playground with friends, bikes and scooters, nap/quiet time after lunch, I can get some house stuff done then if needed. Then sometimes we go back out after nap, or do play doh, sandbox, water play, building blocks. What is your DH doing on the weekends. Assuming he’s not working you could trade off a Sat or Sun morning every other weekend. [/quote] Yep, we have good structure on the weekends, but it's still a lot trying to watch two kids of different levels at a busy playground on a Saturday (for example). Maybe I'm just low energy compared to other people and need more down time?[/quote] How old are you? Are you able to get any of your own exercise? Sleeping enough yourself?[/quote] Late 30's, definitely not getting enough exercise other than walking/playing with the kids and my sleep is awful. Again, this is part of the reason why I need a break on the weekend since having time to exercise without having to wake up at 5 am will help with so many other parts of my life. [/quote] OP I know you said you don’t want to include the husband issue, but seriously. THIS.IS.THE.ISSUE. Also your kids get up at 6:40/7am. Why are you up at 5am? [/quote]
