[quote=Anonymous]I have a 7 year old and toddler. Nanny gives them baths around 5 and then feeds them around 5:30/6. They play until 6:30. My husband starts dinner at 6 and we eat at 6:30 when the nanny leaves. The baby crawls all over us while we eat and older DC plays. DH and I take turns who puts which kid to bed. At 7, one parent washes dishes, helps older DC practice piano, and reads with older DC. Other parent puts baby to bed. Baby is asleep by 7:30 and the parent that put baby to bed exercises that night after. Seven year old takes until 8:30/9 to get to bed. The schedule is working pretty smoothly but it’s taken us a lot of experimenting to land on something that works. As soon as the toddler can climb out of her crib I’m sure we’ll be back at the drawing board. [/quote]
