[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Op here. Kids are 4 and 7. Both of them love daycare/ES aftercare, and I pick them up on the way home. They are both 2-10 min away from my home. They often fight or make an entire mess with toys everywhere if they play together without me sitting there. I have hundreds of books, and they can read if they want. 7 year old does not really play anymore. 4 year old can't read books. They have zero homework to do.

They are picky eater in different way. We do carryout 1-3 times every week. I often use rice cooker, oven, air fryer and do pan fry/stir fry. Thank you for some recipes, I will look at them. 7 year old is out 7:30am to 6:30pm-7pm. 4 year old is out 8:45am to 6:30-7pm. [b]I think they have enough sleep.[/b] I like shower before bedtime for hygiene reason. They are messy eaters. I am not used to prep food in advance. Do you use one-time use zip loc bags or plastic /reusable containers? How do you store prep food for cooking?

The reasons that they are not home till 6:30pm at earliest because they have soccer practice, ballet class or gynmastic class. On weekends, they have ice skating, soccer game or cub scout activities or swimming classes. [/quote]

OP this is absurd. And no they do NOT need educational activities after being gone for 12 hours. Dial back the activities. And damn let them make a mess with TOYS. And no, this is NOT enough sleep for these ages. No wonder YOU are exhausted.[/quote]
