[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Having multiple miscarriages between baby number one and baby number two kind of shifted my perspective that nothing is guaranteed in this world and you got to appreciate what you have.

Other things that really help are doing a lot of divide and conquer with my husband where one person is responsible for one child and the other person is taking on the other child.

We also have a relative who babysits the toddler so that really makes life easier in the morning so we only having to do one drop off [/quote]

Ha, this is funny - I'm a previous happy poster - and one thing that helps me a lot is to NOT do divide and conquer as much. Some, yes, as we both want quality one on one time with the kids. But one of us doing "double duty" a fair amount of the time means the other gets a true break, and that is priceless. On Saturday I was "off" until 10:45, and then again from 1pm till 4pm. There are some naps in there, but still. And my husband similarly got long breaks. [/quote]

This is a great example of different strokes for different folk

We definitely do double duty some of the time but there are times when having two kids and one adult really stresses us out so it just makes more sense to divide and conquer. We are also dealing with a pretty significant age gap so they are doing different activities. [/quote]
