[quote=Anonymous]Having support is the key, as others have said. DH and I both work full time and we do not have family nearby. We only have one child, but she is not independent at all yet (19mo), so our lives are pretty exhausting. An example of my day: 6:45am — leave for work 7:30-3:30 — at work 5:00 — pick up DD from daycare 5:15-7:15 — dinner, playing with her, bath, bedtime 7:30-8:00 - cleaning up from her dinner, packing her lunch and snacks for the next day, trying to eat something myself 8:00 - 10:00 - more work 10:00 - shower and relaxing until I fall asleep around 11:00 DH has her in the morning, but works long hours and is almost never home until after bedtime. DD is lucky to have four grandparents who adore her, but my parents are 300 miles away, and DH’s are 2,000 miles away, so we are on our own.[/quote]
