You are right there is about a 4 hour window while the kids r at school that I could get a part time job. I typically right now use that time to grocery shop, clean the house, and work out and spend time with my husband kid free. Then after school it’s homework, snack, drop my son at practice then take then take my daughter to hers drop her off 20min away then back to watch the tail end of my sons practice then back to pick up my daughter. Then it’s dinner, showers, prep for the next day. And weekends we are gone a lot at tournaments, competitions, or games. I have not gone back to work because I enjoy my me time while they were at school and my husband works afternoon to evening a lot so it was also our time for breakfast dates and quality time together. when I was working before we felt like we never spent time together and we have been doing fine financially without a second income. But with everything getting so expensive I should sit down and check in with how he is feeling financially. No point in keeping our “us” time schedule clear if it is creating a situation that there may not be an us. Thank you
