[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Its funny that PP thinks all or even most infants sleep 4 hours a day. Neither of my kids ever took a 2 hour nap as babies. More like 45 minutes. Once they become toddlers and consolidated to 1 nap a day it was about 2 hours but not much more. They did sleep 7-7 at night though. [/quote]

Your infant too 1 45 minute nap a day. Hmmm.[/quote]

No. 2-3. But never more than 45 minutes at a time. And it never cumulated more than 2 hours, let alone 4. It works for your narrative that your nanny is supervising 4 hours of nap time that you are not missing with your child. [/quote]

It's not a narrative. It's our family schedule and it works.

Just like your H not being a part of raising your kids works for your family. [/quote]

I'm a DP.  How is your H able to spend up until 9 am with your infant?  Does he WFH?  How late does he have to stay logged on or at work to accommodate a 9 am or later start time?  How early do you have to start work to be home at 3:30?  Does that mean that you are not ever together in the morning or evening hours?  Are all three of you ever together at all during the weekdays?[/quote]

My H works 9:30-5:30 his office was 15 minutes from home, the farthest his commute ever was was 25 minutes. He did work 3-11 for about 9 months when somebody was ill and under treatment. That was hard not seeing each other. But he did EVERYTHING from drop off to 2:30 so no cooking/cleaning/running errands/ for a year.. that was nice.... he planned vacations/parties/holidays. It also set the tone that he could do 1/2 of those things going forward especially birthdays... he is so much better at birthdays... and clothes shopping, I have not shopped for kids cloths ever actually he does all of that, until they did it.

I work 6-2:30. My commute was always about 20 minutes.

I get alone time with the kids 3p-6p and he got alone time 6p-9p. I personally would have it that way. I find when parents try to parent together all the time they lack respect for him/her doing it their way.

I was usually at the park or museum or the zoo from 3:30-5:30, home at 6. We did dinner then he did reading and history, I did math and science and then we both did bedtime routine.

Gosh how much time do you spend with your spouse? I'd say 5 hours a night and all weekend is fine with me... but what the heck are you guys doing for 6+ hours a weekday together?[/quote]
