hi,
my schedule goes like this:
family of 5 - myself, dh, mil, fil and sil. and ofcourse my DS

5.30 am - wake up
till 7.30 - prepare breakfast and lunch for everyone, supervise the maid who comes at 6, all lunch/snacks/evening milk for ds as daycare doenst give
7.30-9 am: wake up DS, dh, make ds have milk, bathe, dress her up, pack lunch for everyone, wind up kitched and leave to work , dropping ds to day care first
6 pm - return home with ds - sit with him for 10 mins , start veg cuting, while talking /playing with him. somehow manage to cook for all 5 by 8.30 pm.

till 9.30 max - spen time with ds, arrange bed, room for night, etc, put ds to sleep
10-11 - attend to dh who comes home only by 10 most days.
11- sleep!

i have in laws, who SOMETIMES manage ds in the evening. mornings i have ZERO help from anyone. mil is forever complaining of some aches. she offers to cook, but somehow i dont trust her as most of the times she doesnt wake up and hence we have to miss breakfast/lunch.


at times, ds sleps by 9 -so i cut veg for next days lunch and breakfast, make preparations.

Hi All, very good thread.
I need something like this to inspire me to carry on with my work and taking care of my son.
I have a 1 year old DS who is very very active when awake.

So I am still putting together plans to fit my routine.
One big mistake is I get up late and it messes up the whole days work and hence effecting my performanace at home n work.

I'll also post my updates and try to improve my routine based on your updates.
Thanks Klniha for starting this.

@headspin and chetavani hats off to you'll , you ppl manage to getup so early
maybe thats the key

the key to everything is - planning AND waking up early. of course, sleeping early only facilitates the waking up part .
