[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My spouse travels pretty much every other week and I have three kids under 7 that have been sick for months so I totally get it.

I don't have great advice. Everyone is all "self-care" but that doesn't work so well the way my family is designed I get shit on 100% of the time and my husband gets to do whatever he wants whenever he wants. [/quote]

I mean most kids will spend an hour staring at a movie at any age. Order food for delivery and let the dishes pile up and hit the tub. [/quote]

Wow, that's great for like 2 hours but what do I do with the remaining 96? And, no. My 1 year old will not sit for a movie, lol. How long had it been since you had children? [/quote]

Well 1 year sleep a lot and can be left in a crib with a mobile. [/quote]

Wtf? No. 12 month olds are typically down to one 2-hr nap a day. A 1 year old can be between 12-23 months old.

Leave a toddler in a crib with a mobile, are you insane or stupid or both? [/quote]

Right! That's seriously cruel. I have a 15month old and she's already too old for a mobile. She just woke up from her ONE, 45 minute nap. My older kids napped a lot better and I can remember a 1 hour and then a 2 hour nap at this age. It would be heavenly, but isn't feasible for all babies.

Oh yeah and my 15 month old doesn't look at TV yet. It's like they can't watch it until 2-2.5[/quote]

So it’s better for the mom to kill her self than a 15 month watch TV a little early?

Kids in daycare are left in playpens or safe play areas all the time on their own. There is like 3 to 1 staffing, so it’s not like the caregivers can be with them non stop as well as feeding, changing, consoling. She needs to follow her child’s cue and train them to entertain themselves. [/quote]
