[quote=Anonymous]Play dates are good (you and another mom can take turns). Get them in a scouting troop (good for many reasons). When they are older, Volunteer commitments. Perhaps weekend classes:like art or a foreign language? Can you put them in camp during the summer and take a day off from work once every two weeks? Hire a neighborhood teen who could entertain them for a fun few hours (take them on a picnic? Cook a meal together? Scavenger hunt? Nature hike?) I almost never got breaks. It was hard. But I was always a single parent, so knew what I had signed up for. (I did gave a few rare breaks when I went on business trips. I flew family members into town to stay with my child.) Good luck!
