Managing parenting and business

Hi Mark

Woodspan

why not just work online early in the morning instead of delivering papers

its a little funny that you think money will make a difference in how your family respects your work time

Just a little peek in to my life
woke up around 10 am
played with the kids till 11am
watched them while my wife went and worked out
now 12:30 pm

then I went and worked out in the basement
1:30 pm


then I had to go to costco
I shoped and when i came home I neatly broke the stuff up and put it away
got rid of the boxes etc etc

Now A neighbor called and she said a family down the block has this huge swing set and their kids are older and dont play with it

also my wife wants to socilaze with these people a bit

so she wants me to go over there take the thing apart bring it to our house and put it back together


I still havent gotten thru my email from this morning

I completely agree with this. I stayed in a great paying job that I absolutely hated to make sure the bills were paid in the beginning. But I got up between 4 & 5 in the morning to bust out 2 hours at this before going to my regular job. I napped at lunch most times. Then put in a couple more at night as long as there was no other kid things happening.

You could do the same. Get a few hours in before the wife goes to work, play with the kids and take a nap with them. Then try and squeeze some time in during the afternoon until the wife gets home let her know ya need 1 or 2 hours to finish up some stuff at least a few nights a week.

Three kids under 5 and 40 years old. I am 42 and all three are over 18, I survived and so will you. Good luck with it all.
