[quote=Anonymous]I have 3 kids, mostly work from home and my husband has a flexible job. That’s the only way we can do this with no family help. I am also an introvert and need some recharging time. Right now with a middle schooler and two elementary schoolers my life feels crazy and on the brink of out of control. The things that help: - neighborhood carpools - activities that are close - reminding myself that this is a mere 10 years of intense business and then it will be easier but I’ll probably miss it. - going to bed earlyish or at least laying in bed. - some socializing but mainly family time on the weekends- activities yes but summer will be a break. - reminding myself that August, November and February/March are usually less busy. - trying to scroll less and do other activities when I need a break. Scrolling seems to be the easy choice but I don’t feel good wasting the time. I’ve picked up knitting, need to read more, play with the kids.[/quote]
