Who said that being a parent it’s easy. For me it has been very complicated. We (the couple) work full time.
He leaves home at about 7:30am and arrives home almost at around 8pm, all this time is spend on the company he works for. I’m in charge of the kids, my job, meals and get some extra money by blogging.
I get up, prepare the kids for school, most of the time I don’t eat breakfast, I take them to school and at 9.00am I’m in the office. From 12.30 to 2pm its my luch time that I use usually to read blogs and update mines. I leave work at 6.30pm, pick up the kids and go home. I prepare dinner, baths, clothes for the next day, check if next day it’s swimming class day, or gymnastics day, or if I have to buy meal tickets at school, etc. etc. I’m the one in charge of the kids daily events. Sometimes I miss some things like forget that is swimming class day and leave the bag at home. My son is very distracted and he doesn’t have that concert which leads me to more extra head work.
After all this, I have to blog, write posts, comment, sometimes I only go to bed at 3am. I spend 9,5 hours in the office and at night at least 3-4 hours blogging, plus the time with the kids (playing not included), all sum up I work 15 to 17 hours a day, and I don’t watch TV or read a book.
What I really miss is having more quality time with my kids. Arriving home at 7p, with dinner and baths little time is left to play with them.
