[quote=Anonymous]The problem as a working parent of these ages is that you often have to spend what little time you have with the kids undoing or compensating for what their day has entailed: little personal attention/too much forced compliance/too little nature, etc. They want babying at home to make up for all those hours following directions. The advice to give them real one on one time with no phone is spot on. Give them each 30 minutes undisrupted and they’ll have an easier time rising to the occasion. Also agree with loosening or reframing your focus on boundaries. I’m a MC sahm and it’s truly unrelenting but at least I get to set the tone and deal with everything comprehensively without daycare draining the kids. [/quote]
