Stay at home moms only....Describe what a typical day?

Question

is like for you, include details and anything interesting. What do you do with your kids, things like that. What time does your day start and end???

Answer 1

My daughter and I get up around 8:30 (I'm pregnant and don't function too well before that.) We have breakfast and then she watches educational shows while I do housework. If it is nice we sometimes play outside before lunch, or run errands if needed. Lunch is usually between 11 and 12. At 12 my husband comes home for lunch and after he leaves my daughter lays down for a nap. After her nap we usually play, she likes cars, puzzles and books. After the neighborhood kids come home from school we go out and play with them. If the weather is bad or I'm sick and we have to stay in, she has an educational video game she likes to play. We start supper around 5 and her dad gets home around 5:30. After supper we do varied things, go out to stores, go to her grandparents' house, do yard work or just watch t.v. as a family. She gets her bath around 7 or 7:30 and I start her bedtime routine at 8:30 or 9. I read to her for about 1/2 an hour and that's about it.

With the new baby coming I have no idea what will happen to that schedule.

Answer 2

It all depends on how many children and their ages.
Everybody should be up around 7 or 7:30.
Breakfast, then everybody big enough to help cleares the dishes.
I always tried to plan one little special thing for each morning.
Trip to park, library, or just a walk around the neighborhood saying hello to neighbors.
Then grocery shopping before kids get too tired.....with a little treat if they were cooperative.
Or if it was not grocery day, we would get to work on household chores with older kids helping or watching younger ones.
Lunch....keep it simple with a minimum of cooking.
Then rest time for EVERYBODY. Babies, big kids, mommies.
About 3 pm everybody is up and should be able to entertain themselves and each other for a couple of hours while you get supper ready.
Then, hopefully, Dad is home and everyone has dinner together.
Now, it's DAD's turn either to watch the kids or clean up while you read or watch tv in your room or whatever.
Then an hour of family time before bath time is really nice.
To be honest, this plan did not ALWAYS work, but most days we came pretty close.

Answer 4

My day starts at 8:00 a.m. I have a 2 year old and a five month old. The first they we do in the morning is get up go downstairs I change both of their diapers, fill up my son's sippy cup while he drinks that I make a bottle for my daughter and feed her. Then I make my son breakfast. After that we take our baths for the day. After we get dressed we all go outside and my son rides his powerwheels, after that we come back in and fix lunch, then we have story time. Then it's nap time at 2:00 p.m. we all sleep until 4 p.m. daddy comes in from work at 4:30 p.m. Daddy spends his time with the children and we have supper done by 6:00 p.m. Then we all sit down and watch a movie together usually a walt disney movie. 9:00 p.m. is bedtime. And our day starts all over. Just a boring typical day in my life.

Answer 5

I have a 7 month old. She wakes up at 5am, but her dad gets her so I can sleep till 6am. I play with her while I eat my breakfast and drink my coffee. By then, she needs a nap, so I put her down. 4 days a week, I go to the gym. So while she is sleeping, I get the diaper bag and the gym bag ready. Then when she wakes up we go to the gym. I work out for an hour and then take a shower. We're there for about 1.5 hours. Then, if I need to, we go shopping.
Then we go home and she eats lunch. Then she's ready for another nap. During nap I clean. She only sleeps a short while, so I usually don't get done with chores.
Then we play, go to the park or something for an hour or so. I try to continue cleaning while she is awake, but the house is dirty again right as I get it cleaned. Some days I do laundry, some days vacuum, other days dust, etc.
This usually takes us to her next mini nap where I start preparing dinner. After this nap (only about 1/2 hour), we play, read, go outside till about 4pm. Then I finish preparing dinner as she plays. Dinner is in oven by 4:45pm for when my husband gets home at 5:30pm.
Sometimes we watch one TV show.
On Wednesdays is my mom's group and we stay busy from about 10am-noon.
We eat dinner around 5:30pm. Then she gets her bath and I brush her teeth. My husband and I do everything together when he is home, so he helps with bathtime. Then we all go for our evening walk. About 2 miles. Then Kylee goes to sleep around 7pm or 8pm.
So my day typically goes from 6am-8pm.
I forgot to add "relax time." That's from 8pm-9pm. My husband and I either watch TV or play a game or do other mommy and daddy things (you have to keep this thing going. It's the only way to get more little kiddies!). Go to bed at 9 or 10pm. Sometimes we'll finish chores during this time.

Answer 6

We get up at 7.15. The kids get their breakfast while i have a shower. We get animals fed I make the lunches for school (and snack for recess) Continue to tell kids get dressed (at least 10 times it takes for my son to actually be dressed) get the hair done on my daughter. Everyone does teeth. Stop for coffee about 8.15 and watch the morning show. My daughter made me my coffee for the first time this morning. They play until 8.40 then they ride their bikes or scooter to school. I drive as I need a new hip and am unable to walk to well in the morning (or any other time for that matter)I stay till the bell goes, have a quick chat with the other mums and on monday and Tuesday come home. Do a bit of housework. On Wed Thur and Friday catch up with friends for a coffee, one day is a playgroup i was in, the next day is some of these mums and others who go to the Catholic school but all the kids went to kinder together and the Friday is a few school mums then it is home to do housework. Maybe read or watch a bit of Dr.Phil or Oprah (maybe 1-2 times a week) do any running around shopping bills etc.At 3.30 I Get the kids, take them to swimming basketball or scouts if it is the right day or they bring home friends to play.If they don't bring home friends they go and play together or read or occasionally watch a bit of tv. Tonight they helped me outside do a few things I cook tea, talk with the kids maybe do a bit of reading with them. We all eat tea together then it is bath and teeth and put them to bed at 7pm go back at 7.20. Listen to each one read for 5-7 minutes each then kisses and cuddles. Jump on to the computer for a bit of Answers then check emails. if there are shows i watch at 7.30 I get off the computer watch them and off to bed to get up and do it again tomorrow
My day starts at 7.15 and ends at 10.30ish.
I love this question as i get to see what others do in their day

Answer 7

I am a stay at home mom in Redding, CA.
My day starts off at 5:30 AM I get up and get breakfast ready for my husband and son.( Jason is 3 and we have a baby due in Jan.) We eat around 5:45-6:00 AM. My husband leaves for work.Then while my son is playing I clean up the whole house. At about 7:30 am we leave for the park. we stay there between 2-3 hours. Then It is back home for lunch. Then after lunch and I clean up the dishes. We have quite time. We read books or play quitly for 2 hours. Then it is snack time. Sometimes we have it at the park and other times we have it at home. At around 4:00 I start thinking about what we are having for dinner. 9 times out of 10 we bbq ( we live in Ca and the weather allows us to do it most of the year) My husband gets home around 5:00 PM. After about an hour to relax we have dinner and then we try to go to the park again to play for about an hour. At 8:00 PM it is time for our son to get ready for bed. It is a bath and book and at around 8:45 or so he is asleep. After he is in bed. It is alone time for hubby & I. We may watch a movie or tv. We might play a game. He goes to bed around 10:00 PM and then I clean up the house again. Do the dishes and then go to bed my self around 11:30 - midnight. I am lucky to get a shower once a day.

Answer 8

My 3 year old son and I get up around 8:30. We have breakfast. Sometimes we watch Nick Jr together. He's not a big T.V. lover (unless it's spongebob). Threw out most of the day we just play. He loves to dance with me. Or we play with cars or draw. He likes to help with the house work (even though its not much help to me it helps him feel like he accomplished helping mom). Then in the after noon we like to go to the pool. Then when dad gets home they usually play while i make dinner. soon after everyone goes to bed around 9:30.
