| I work with the elder generation and believe me there are a great deal of grand parents whom feel cheated they never get to see their grandkids enough. How about a I scratch your back you scratch my back agreement with a sister and a brother? I know there are lots of them out there whom would give dearly a few hours to remember whom they are as individuals with kids... How about a girl friend? Or a good neighbour whom also has kids. People can't mind read, you gotta open your mouth and ask for help.

| Thank you for the ideas I really appreciated it. I will give it a try. Its just trying to balance the 2 year old and 11 month old, there naps are counter productive at this time.

| With my son, when he would nap, I took the first 7 minutes, no matter what, and did meditation. Then after the buzzer went off I'd get up and do my chores. Now he's 8 and he knows when mommy says it's time for me time, to just chill and watch tv or go outside while mommy has her time. I've had to make myself take my me time. I make sure I get at least 15 minutes a day. If nothing else, to think silly thoughts that make me smile. If you wrote a doctor's appointment for the kids on a calendar, would you cancel it? Absolutely not! Write in "Me Time" in a couple of spaces on your calendar and make yourself take it. Your body/mind/spirit will scream thanks!

| I just realized after my second child that I am really starting to look my age if not older. Not for lack of time to try and look somewhat human again after being up all night with one than the other! But also, trying to keep the spouse happy also! Does anyone have a suggestion on how to add a little you time in throughout the day? The men think when kids nap so do you! Lord knows the house would look like world war three! Help
