[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm a mom and can tell you that when I have a day to focus solely on my kids it feels entirely different than when I have to focus on my kids, plus errands, plus other household management, plus being a decent spouse, plus thinking about which bills to pay...you get the idea. I think you're underestimating the value of being able to focus on one job at a time. When I'm home with my kids on the weekend my attention is divided by many more jobs other than just my kids. I don't sit down during the weekends. My nanny sits down for a couple of hours each day. [/quote]

I care for 18 month old old triplets 55-60 hours a week (schedule changes slightly week to week depending on travel for MB and DB).  I hardly ever get to sit down during the day and many days I eat lunch on the go.  We have classes and other activities most mornings so we are gone.  When we come home we have lunch and they go down for a nap.  While they nap I'm cleaning up any messes that might have been made from lunch or other activities,  doing laundry, cooking food, prepping their plates for dinner, menu planning for the week, replenishing the diaper bag with things we used from the outing, getting a snack ready for them when they wake up, researching activities, etc. etc.

Afternoons are then spent at the beach, parks, walks, etc. (We live in California where the weather is almost always nice). Then it's dinner, clean up, bath time, story time and into bed.   [/quote]
