[quote=Anonymous]I work 7am-5:15pm. When I arrive I eat breakfast with the children. We have a snack together mid-morning on the days they are not in school. We eat lunch together. In the afternoon after their rest we have a snack together.

While they are resting I am free to do as I please. Some days I might do some laundry. Some days I might sort through the toys to pull out anything they no longer play with. Other days I go online and/or do some schoolwork (I also go to school f/t). The same thing goes for when they are at school (3 mornings/week). Although on some days when they are at school I conduct fieldwork/observations related to my degree program.

Throughout my direct time with the kids I do my own thing when the kids request to play by themselves. When I find that they've had a lot of interaction/facetime with me I usually give them a 30 minute "independent time." This is because it's good for their own development rather than so I can do m own thing.

So while I don't get actual "breaks" since I need to be available at all times in case something comes up I do have plenty of downtime throughout many of my days. Oh, and MB works from home so she is well aware of what I do throughout the day. [/quote]
