[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Are you a “I have to lay down with my kids for them to sleep” type or something? In what universe do you have no time? Your kids go to bed at what time and you go to bed at what time? How old are your kids? Do they not attend school? Do they never play with other kids or each other?[/quote]

OP here and yes, I have to lay down with the 1 year old to get her to sleep 😩 They do attend school, but I work all day. If I’m not tending to them or DH, I’m doing things around the house, laundry, etc. I don’t have a ton of sit down time (except on the toilet, down time at work like right now, etc.) I need to assess and try to make better use of my time.

OP it's pretty easy to watch some television.  Get some airpods and watch shows on your phone while doing things around the house.  I have to lie with my 1 year old to get her to sleep (at least half the time I fall asleep with her) but do get some TV time in while doing mindless chores.  I don't like her seeing me on my phone that much but do feel comfortable reading my kindle around her so get a fair amount of reading done when she is half asleep at night or at naptime.

And yes I belong to some moms groups with kids of similar age and then it's ok to talk about your kids!  Also belong to a single moms reading club.  Solo mom here so no husband relief possible but sometimes have a teenager play with my kid for a couple hours while I do other stuff (admittedly usually work or chore related.) [/quote]
