[quote=Anonymous]I have a 3, 6 and 8 year old. My schedule looks like this:

6:30am - parents wake up and get ready, get coffee and make lunches
7:00am - DH is gone for work (drives into the city)
7:30am - I (DW) make sure that the kids are awake and breakfast is ready.  Get kids dressed for school, hair brushed, etc
8:20am - off to the bus for the older two and then daycare for the youngest
9:00am - back home to work for the day
3:45pm - walk to get the older two from the bus
4:00pm-5:00pm - older two have a snack, decompress, do homework (if there is no school homework I still make them do worksheets/SplashLearn on their computer, read to me) while I make dinner for everyone
5:15pm - go get youngest from daycare

If there are no sporting events then we come home by 5:45pm and have dinner (kids like to play on playground at daycare before we come home).  After dinner we all take the dog out for a walk. Older two kids usually bike and I walk with the dog and youngest child.  Come home for a little bit of TV before going upstairs at 7:15pm for bath, pjs, get ready for bed.  DH is usually still at work at this point so I do all 3 bedtimes by myself, so it can take anywhere between 45 min-1 hour depending on how compliant kids are.  All kids are in bed and asleep no later than 8:30/8:45pm.

On days when we have sports the older two kids eat before we get the youngest from daycare, I pack youngest kids dinner in a thermos and then we are at sports until around 7pm.  Then immediately home for bath and bed. [/quote]
