I work 2 days per week, 8-6, as a dental hygienist. dh has those 2 days off, so one of us is always home. my son is in 1st grade and my dd is in preschool M-W, 9-12. it has been an adjustment to have dh be in charge of homework and dinner those 2 days. let's just say the kids usually eat hotdogs and mac 'n cheese, or spaghetti on Tuesdays and Thursdays! good thing they are not too picky.
