[quote=Anonymous]Thanks all. Morning hours are 6:30 until she drops the kids off at school at 8:30. I can leave as late as 8:00 but it means doing work in the evening so I prefer to go in earlier and not have to work in the evening.

Then she is off from 8:30 - 12:45 when she heads back to pick up the younger one. She is then on until I get home at 5:00. From 5:00 - 6:30, we are both on - helping with homework, older one has an activity twice a week, getting dinner ready, taking kids to the park etc.  She doesn't cook but sometimes if she is staying home while I am out with the older one, or with the kids at the park, I will ask her to watch and make sure it doesn't burn or to take something out of the oven or off the stove at x time. Usually she opts to stay home and watch the stove versus going to the park with the kids and I like taking them so it works. We eat at 6:30 and she usually joins us for dinner.

She is fine from 12:30 - 6:30. Not amazing, but adequate.

She said the reason she didn't get up as she had taken cold medicine and slept through her alarm. I think the later and later was because I was staying home and doing it anyways so she figured she wasn't really needed. She just looks so bleary eyed, half asleep, and lethargic when she is up in the morning that I just stay to keep things moving. I could just leave and let her deal. [/quote]
