[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP, you need to get a grip. I worked FT, in office with a husband who worked long hours.  I did all the morning and evening stuff, managed to clean my house, feed my kids, do laundry and enjoy my weekends.  You and your husband are just lazy and not organized.  I also enjoyed time with friends as did my DH and kids.  You are just too much.[/quote]

Definitely not lazy, we both have advanced degrees, but probably disorganized. So you did everything and your DH just worked? That actually probably works best honestly, I think coordination eats up a lot of our time.

How did it work in the evenings? Our kids are elementary and middle school, we have activities 4 nights a week, kids have homework and we both commute 30-60 minutes?  How did you squeeze everything into the 5 hours from 6:00 - 11:00pm?[/quote]

We tag teamed any practices, but 4 nights a week wasn’t an issue for us.  We didn’t over schedule our young kids.  We also set up car pools with other parents.  Only one of us had an hour commute.  We didn’t set ourselves up to fail. You just do things as they need done.  Our kids helped pick up and I never had a house too messy to clean efficiently.  You need to do better.[/quote]
