[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I accepted a position working from home from 1pm - 9 pm. This position is 3 weekdays and weekends. I have a 2 year old who still take 2-3 hour naps and my husband is home by 5:30 pm. I am actually more concerned about the 5:30-9 pm chuck of time because my toddler can be really loud and we live in a 1 bedroom apartment. I have to work from our walk in closet. It's the quietest place in our apartment. I wish I could rent an office space or something. I have to be directly connected to the internet with a cable cord though and office space in my area is very expensive. Help me brain storm ways to make this work. I really want to make this work. [b]My 2 year old goes to sleep around 9 pm- 10 pm. [/b]He's a great sleeper. [/quote]

Why does a 2yo go to bed that late?? My 7yo doesn’t even go to bed that late (sleeps 8:30-7).

You said he doesn’t wake up until 8:30am.  I’d work on slowly shifting his bedtime and wake time to earlier—say, 8:30p-7:30a.  This would be more in line with a preschool schedule, since you say he’ll be going at age 4.  Switching now may make the transition a tiny bit easier when he goes.

Also, that’ll help give your husband a bit of a break if he can get your son to bed by 8:30 and then have some downtime before he goes to bed himself.[/quote]
