DYK no, I just do preschool with my two that are still home.


DYK it gives me a teaching outlet and saves some dough on tuition?


DYK I used to teach kindergarten?


DYK I wonder when/how I'll go back?

DYK my kids are in preschool 2 days a week but that's more for me to have some down time rather than to teach them! lol


DYK we had art this morning - art is a favorite.


DYK most parents "homeschool" their kids and don't know it, lol!!!


DYK we also do music alot.

DYK 20/20/20 is a step class at the gym?


DYK it's 20 minutes step, 20 minutes toning, and 20 minutes abs?


DYK I like it because the format always changes a little every week so I don't get bored?

DYK if my Dh got off work at 5 and was home at 5:30 instead of getting off at 6 and getting home closer to 6:45 - it would change our lives.

DYK by 5:30 I am ready to scream - and often am screaming.


DYK the kids are purposely acting bad by this time.


DYK I am exhausted by this time.


DYK at 5:30 there's no help for me for another hour.


DYK and then Sean wonders why I don't want to be touched, talked to or interacted with in any way when he gets home?


DYK GET OFF AT 5 and we won't have this problem.

DYK I've adopted a few things that do help out with this - like purposely planning something out of the house that lasts until about 5:45 so we get home at 6 and then they eat.


DYK on days I odn't have the car - that doesn't work.


DYK baths, projects, helping me cook, helping me clean up - ALL FAIL MISERABLY at this hour?


DYK all they want by this time is DADDY??


DYK when Daddy gets home today it's bathtime.

DYK that Frank doesn't get home until 7:30?


DYK that I've always wished he could get home earlier?

DYK that it's always been difficult with the kids because of his eta?

DYK I think I am learning as much about parenting as I am about SB from you ladies


DYK you amaze me with all you do ON TOP of being such involved parents


DYK my husband works from home


DYK he may very well be the one to raise our children while I keep my office job


DYK that idea does not totally sit well with me because I always wanted to stay at home with my babies?
