[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My kids are only 2 and 4, and it sounds like a lot of elementary school parents are having the same issue, so maybe I’m out of my depth. But would it help to structure your time more clearly? Like Sat morning your DH does something with the kids and makes lunch while you work out and do bills/research vacations/whatever. Then for an hour after lunch everyone has downtime. Then in the afternoon you do a family activity, or you’re on with the kids while DH does something else. I feel like this works well for my house - is there a reason this doesn’t work for older kids?[/quote] Yes, you are out of your depth. You answered a question that OP didn’t ask.[/quote] But… it sort of sounds like everyone in her house is confused about what’s supposed to happen at any particular time. Maybe if there were a routine of when mom is available and when she isn’t, it would work better?[/quote]
