[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][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.

WOW, I feel like I could’ve written this. I am also 31 and none of my friends have kids. I am pretty ok with being hobby-less. I try to exercise some mornings and read before bed. [/quote]

What do you guys do all day??  Don’t say laundry. You’re not doing laundry all day every day when your kids are in school. You have plenty of time to do something that would make you more interesting. [/quote]

They… work.

OP, you’re fine. Once your younger one turns 4ish, you will have a lot more independence. At that point, you and your DH need to learn how to handle them solo (if you’re not already doing that) to give each other a break.

There are pros and cons to everything, including having kids young. I don’t find the women who had kids at 40 more interesting than the ones who had kids at 25.[/quote]
