[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This is my second week of daycare for my 16 month old and aftercare for my kindergartener after having a full time nanny.  DH has to leave by six in the morning so it’s just me getting the kids up, fed, dressed and all their stuff packed for school and daycare.  I do as much as I can the night before and kindergartener can do everything herself but so slowly.  Once I get everyone to school, I arrive at work looking like I’ve been through a war and exhausted.

Pick up is easier but I’m so worried that I’m going to be late.  Once we get home it’s dinner, bath, bed and then we have to clean out their lunch boxes and make food for their long days.

Last two weekends are nothing but getting everything done for the week.  Our nanny used to do all the kids laundry and their meal prep/grocery shopping as well as picking up their rooms and family room.  Now it’s up to us and we’ve run out of milk twice already and had to do a midnight run to get lunch supplies.

Please tell me it gets easier.  [/quote]
The first couple weeks with anything regarding little kids is tough.

Yes, it does get easier.  You and DH will work out the best, fastest way to do stuff and the kids will get used to the new routines as well.

Don’t listen to the DCUM martyrs - they are pathetic.  I promise you it gets easier. [/quote]

“Martyr” ,“pathetic” = anyone who has a different experience than you...or less money. [/quote]

The pathetic martyrs are those trashing OP and her husband for just expressing her feelings.  If you can’t see this in reading the posts, then you are simply stupid. [/quote]
