We have no family about to help us out in any way, not just childcare as such, but no general support. I just wondered how other people cope with this, i find it really hard that dh and i get no alone time at all. I thought it would be easier as the kids got older but i find it even harder as they seem to stay up later and need us more than they did when they were younger. They are not really yet old enough for us to leave alone, but we can't really afford babysitters on top of the cost of going out for dinner. We use all our annual leave, on covering the school holidays, so we don't ever seem to have a spare day left that we could take off together. I just feel like we all need a break, its like being on a treadmill.
