[quote=Anonymous]Op, I’m exactly the same and you are going through the hardest part right now when the kids are young and it’s total chaos.

Others have given great recommendations about having DH take kids out for a morning, meditation, etc  here’s a few more ideas for carving out quiet time throughout your day

- schedule quiet time in your house the same way you schedule dinner and other activities. 
- if you know dinner is particularly loud/overwhelming, try to schedule the hour before dinner as quiet time, so you can recharge a bit before sitting down
- in our family, everyone goes to their room and can do whatever they want, as long as they are quiet. If they make noise, the toy/game gets taken away 
- either get up earlier or go to bed later than the rest of the family, do you can have a quiet house to yourself
- I have DH do breakfast for the kids and I do a long quiet walk w dog in the morning to start the day off right. 
- valentine and bday gifts from DH always include float therapy

These may not be in your control but I thought worth mentioning. When DH and I first married, we lived in a loft which was an utter disaster, so I put a lot of thought into our next house (no open floorplan) - lots of separate rooms and tv in basement, kids on different floor  etc

Being able to work from home was such a gift. Until COVID🙄

Good luck. [/quote]
