Organize???
I need some help in organizing my family routine.I am a stay at home mom with 2 kids. 4 and 9 months. My husband works from 11am-9:30 pm. And my routine is all messed up. Sometimes my 4 yr old won’t go to bed til 12 or 1. Can someone give me a time-line of what to do during the day. To get the most done during the day(chores , etc.) and get the kids in bed by a decent hour.??? Thanks so much
A great place to start would be http://www.flylady.net it is great for this sort of thing. Helps you set up your own schedule for your family, you know them the most, so you would be much more equipped to come up with a schedule, than using someone else’s. Fly lady is free.
have him play with a favorite toy or whatever or watch tv vasicly have him do something he likes than do you rchores while your little one is taking a nap. than play with him outside or take him to the park so he can get ride of that energy and once hes tired at around 9:30 pr 10 or whatever time sfter his dad comes home so he can see him put him to bed. make him run around do something so he can end up tired by his bed time
Your kids probably want to stay up to see their father. My husband comes home at 9:30 so I need to make sure my kids are in bed my 8 so their sleep isn’t interrupted when he walks in the door.
Bed by 8pm???? Hells teeth, that is far too late. My eldest is 10 and he goes to bed at 730pm, same time as the rest of the bunch.
Get them to bed at a decent time-630pm!!! Get up at a decent time, spend time with your husband before he goes to work (you probably do that already). Let the 4 year old have a rest in the early afternoon, baby should be sleeping atleast once in the day.
Prepare your evening meal — eat at the table together — bath time– read a book and go to bed.
I can’t believe you let your kids up so late!
