[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’m in a similar transition. Plan as if you will not be home for the first few weeks until you understand your schedule and expectations. Once you feel comfortable, develop a schedule for things in your personal life that you think you can sustainably commit to. For instance—there are two nights a week I leave at five and cannot be reached for a few hours to go to the gym and take care of personal errands. I also work from home two mornings a week to be there to send my kid off to school, because otherwise I would not see them (given late night before). I buy microwave lunches and take those to work, and breakfast is something I can grab on the way out like yogurt and granola bars. My spouse cooks most dinners now. I cook on the weekends and we have leftovers for some nights. Grocery delivery is your friend. Housekeeping is a must. Carpool for sports and pick your night and stick to it. Be rigid about your boundaries once you feel like you have reasonable ones. [/quote] How old are your kids? Why did you make the leap? Are you the breadwinner?[/quote]
