I have 3 children (4 if you include my husband), Josh 8, Maddi 5, and Hailey 21 weeks.
I also work full time (8.30 - 5). I have a lot of trouble juggling the 2.
By the time i get home and cook dinner - we don't eat until around 7.30 - 8pm, the kids generally don't get to bed until 9pm (and usually only 1/2 hr after dinner), i don't get to bed until around midnight because i'm trying to clean up after dinner and get everything organised for the next day, then i'm so tired the next morning I usually sleep through the alarm clock, and then run late for work.
I'm in a vicious cycle and can't seem to break it. I hardly have time to spend with my kids, even just to go through there homework with them is a struggle.
I'm trying to loose all that pregnancy weight, so i'm also trying to get to the gym a couple of nights a week (hubby takes over then).
The weekends are full with cleaning, washing, etc, and I don't seem to get 5 minutes to sit down and relax. I'm exhausted.
Does anyone else have this problem or advice on juggling it all.
