[quote=Anonymous]I hear you OP. We both work out of home and have easy commutes, but have two kids in two different places (school and day care), which makes life complicated. I work 40 hours a week, but that can include nights and weekends, so DH is often the primary caregiver and in charge of pickups and dinner those evenings. I try to make things easier by running errands and doing meal prep on mornings that I have off, but I also try to take some time for myself those mornings (going to the gym, maybe shopping). We have family visit only a few times a year, and my mom will often do an extended stay to help us out (she'll make dinner and basic housekeeping when she's here). But its a a lot of stress and rush otherwise. Since I work weekends, my kids don't do a lot of extracurricular weekend activities. I can't go part time in my job, and have been looking around for another full time job in order to have a more normal weekday schedule, but quite frankly, the benefit of my current job is that I get paid higher than I would in most other companies. That's been helpful in saving money for household issues as well as taking nicer vacations.[/quote]
