I am a single parent to a 7 year old and a 2 year old.
We get home around 4.30, up at 6am so ideally children should be in bed by 8pm and 7pm.
We need routine, bedtime cues, as they both aren’t great sleepers.
I’d like to have a 30 minute period designated to a board game or something similar but it’s so hard to find the time!
The breaking point is that I’m ashamed to say I haven’t done homework or spellings with my 7 year old for two or three weeks. This has to end.
What with dinner, baths, housework.. i see it as a positive that I’m on my own but it’s relentless. I’m starting to get snappy and I HATE it, poor kids.
Can anyone help me get out of this rut I have got myself in?
