Hi everyone... I'm just trying to figure out how to manage everything ... my DH has recently moved out and although he sees our 2 LOs once during the week and at the weekend for one day/night ... I don't know how to keep on top of everything.. I'm currently managing to get some of my paperwork done at 'quiet time', am minding full time .. have had to incorporate educational day2day living into my practice .. but now have my own very clingy 2yo who won't leave me out of his sight... he can on top of this open every stairgate, unclick himself in the car etc... and today was rather shocked when he stuck his hand up the car's exhaust and got a black arm and hand :laughing: .. now although the exhaust thing was funny.. I just feel exhausted with getting no space from him to cook, wash etc etc...
are there any other childminders out there that are single with kids and working.. if so what do you find works well for you.. I'd really love to get a cleaner but they cost around £25.00 around this way for 2 hours and I'm not sure if this helps.. when do you all do your cleaning? before when my DH was here he'd look after our LOs whilst I cleaned.. its rather stressful trying to clean at times (and a job I don't really like)...
any help would be greatly appreciated as I'm beginning to feel bogged down with everything...xxx:)
