Ignore the husband, love the children, do my work and pay the bills.

When my daughter was born, I had the option of staying home. I went crazy with cabin fever and drove my husband nuts with my crabbiness (not like me). When she was 1 I went to school part-time and when she was 2 I started my current job. I work a 6 on/6 off shift and make 95K a year. In the end, after I take all my vacations, I actually work less than half the year ( about 180 days). Because of the nature of my husbands shift, our daughter needs care only 4-8 days per month. I am very lucky in that I have my mother to look after her for us so I don't worry about what kind of care my little girl is getting. When I'm not working I'm very active in my daughter's life. I volunteer at her school twice a week and my husband is also very hands on.
Sometimes it is hard because my husband was raised with his mother taking care of the household. Sometimes I resent that although I make more than he does he expects me to be the one doing all the housework and shopping, laundry, everything I did before I started working. But I can't complain about my life, I love my husband, I love my daughter, I love my job!

My maid comes in at 7. I get up at 5 a.m. I bathe and pray till then and massage, play with and bathe my one year old till then. When my maid comes in, she does all the cleaning work, wash utensils and cut vegetables while my husband looks after my daughter. I boil her bottles, give her cerelac, iron clothes if necessary and prepare lunch boxes for me and my husband. We have breakfast together at 8:30 and then we leave for office and leave our daughter in creche. My husband picks up my daughter while returning from office at 6:00 pm and I reach home by 7:00 p.m. Then we play together as a family for an hour. Then I cook and watch TV while my husband looks after my daughter and plays active games with her. We usually have dinner by 9:00 and by 10:00 pm, she goes to sleep. We usually talk for an hour and then go to sleep by 11:00. But we do take liberties with our sleeping pattern on Sundays and holidays.

I was a single mommy with two toddlers and working full time. As hard as it was, it wasn't all that bad. I bathed them every other day, cleaned up toys every night, and had them on a good bed time routine. After they went to bed, I did the rest of the cleaning. If I kept up with it, it was quick and easy. Good Luck.

I hope I will never be in this situation... My husband and I have a deal - he makes the money, I stay home and take care of the kids.

You handle it day by day, step by step. Allow yourself a break every couple of weeks for "me" time. At night treat yourself to simple pleasures. Kids are in bed, take a bubble bath, do your nails, etc.

You just do it--life is hard--I have 4 kids and my hubby left me and so I went back to school and am currently doing clincals--working for free--in my mind you are lucky only having one with a hubby--but we all lead our life how God chose it--
