[quote=Anonymous]I think you should plan a week long overnight camp for both kids. Elementary is a great age to try this and it will give you much needed time to yourself. I find that I don’t feel recharged after a few hours with a babysitter since I’m always hyper aware of the time and when I have to be home. Also, this sounds counterintuitive but I signed my kids up for a lot of sports. I can get some work done during practices and longer games give me a break. It’s easy enough to carpool with other families too. Sometimes I drop off the kids (plus a friend) and I’m free for several hours without paying a sitter. The other family brings them home. [/quote]
