We have a very active two and a half year old, and we love him to pieces. We both work full time and we don't have local family or friends who can do babysitting. The way things pan out we only get 1-2 hrs a day to ourselves without cutting into our sleep time. It was a bit easier in summer because one of us could take him out in the evening to the playground etc to give the other a little break. He doesn't nap much during the day any more. It's quite challenging to both get necessary things done and get downtime.
Does anybody have any suggestions for ways we can manage our time or things we can do with him to improve the balance?

Hi! I was in the same situation here, I am not sure I was able to sleep when my son was a newborn. I work from home, and my son needs a lot of attention, it's really hard. He doesn't want to sleep at night, also he wants to play with me all the time. It's better now, I turn on the music and he becomes calmer. I am sure a lot of women faced it.

I swear to God that if you think now you have a hard time, wait till your baby grows up a little. With mine it was easy. I slept when she slept. Then I enrolled her to https://littlescholarsnyc.com/locations/little-scholars-5/" rel="nofollow - https://littlescholarsnyc.com/locations/little-scholars-5/ as this pre-school education group was highly recommended to me by my neighbors. I think you need to keep their contacts for the nearest future.
