People with kids and full time jobs, what does your schedule looks like?

We only have daycare twice a week, and my partner and I both work full time. I’ve been working from 6–10 AM, spend the day with my son, and come back 4–8 PM, but I wonder if there’s a better way?

@rafa Early mornings and evenings are what weve always relied on, as well. No two weeks are the same. Lots of tagging each other in and out!

Protip: As the kids get older, they stay up later, so that becomes difficult. Teaching them to be self-sufficient at bedtime is something I wish we had started earlier!

@AshleyMarineP follow up question, define “older” and what do you mean by self sufficient at bedtime? Putting themselves to sleep? 😅

@rafa Ours are 9 and 5, so an unorganised bedtime can last until 9pm now 😬 Getting into PJs, brushing teeth and hair, having a wee, etc. they can do by themselves now. We always just did those things together when they were young, but it's not sustainable now that they're up later if we're to have any productive time in the evenings! We go up to do a couple of stories, or a chapter in the older ones book, when they're ready.
