[quote=Anonymous]I didn't read all the responses, it seemed like a lot of posters were beating up on people trying to genuinely help you OP.
I have 4 kids.  My youngest is around 2 now, and my eldest is 9.  It gets much easier once they get older.  
When I only had two and my kids were around your kids age (I had a two year old and an infant), the kids ate a lot of easy to warm up foods and I did a lot of cooking on the weekend.  I never really cooked during the week, it was mostly just either warming up something (like veggie burgers or chicken nuggets) or warming up something I made over the weekend.  I also used TV a lot around bedtime to occupy the older child while I was putting the younger to bed.  Fifteen minutes of tv won't hurt your kid. 
 When my eldest turned 4, and I had three instead of 2 kids, I got better at kind of managing kids, I don't remember being so overwhelmed.  I cook a lot of fifteen minute meals -- grilled chicken/fish/etc. and pasta/rice.  My kids still watch tv for fifteen minutes when I put the youngest to bed.  Its fine.[/quote]
