I am so glad to see this topic, as I am having the same problem and not sure how to arrange when I back to work. I found some solution from your sharings. Thanks!
I am a working mom with 2 kids. One is 3.5 yrs old and the BB is only 6 weeks old. I use to work until 8 o'clock and arrive home at around 9. My hubby is even worst, he comes back home at 10:30pm the earliest and sometimes at 11, 12, 1, 2:00am.
I am too worried about the elder son will do something harm to the baby while the maid is not around. e.g. go to the toilet, cooking ,etc.
Hi Summer,
To me, I really rely on my hubby's contribution for taking care my kids especially my little boy is 7 months which needs lot of attention. My girl is already at K2 which become more homework.
Once we stepped back home at 8pm, the "war" is started. Rush to change clothes, holding the baby and free up the maid to cook the dinner, asking the school life of my girl... After the dinner, I have to guide my girl for the homework before 930 to let them in bed. Time management is so important (even stressful than work).
I always remind myself to keep the balance of attention between the two kids. However, I can't avoid to receive some complain from my girl. Anyway, things will be better someday later. I'll try my best to accompany them as much as possible in any ways.
