[quote=Anonymous]We don't really have a "schedule," but my husband generally gets up with the kids on Saturday morning and takes them to the farmers market/park/something fun while I sleep in, work-out, and have an hour or so to relax, and I generally do the same for him on Sunday mornings.  The afternoons are generally spent as a family doing something fun or visiting friends.  After the kids are in bed at night, one of us may go out with our friends while the other stays in, we stay in together and hang out or have people over, or we may get a babysitter and go out together.  Just depends on the weekend and what is going on.  We are VERY flexible though.  We also do not have a schedule for the week.  I tend to get home earlier so I do the majority of childcare during the week, and I always get the kids up during the week because I like to do so.  If my husband is home though, we are both equally involved in getting the kids fed, bathed, and in bed.

I think people are being a little harsh.  I think it is natural to want some adult time and I know a lot of couples who work together so that each person gets some time to themselves (to golf or whatever it may be).  However, I do think it is important that you both learn to enjoy time as a family and refrain from operating solely via "shifts."     [/quote]
