Tips for solo parenting please

[abbynabby23]

My partner is going away for 4 days with his friends and I will keep the kids alone (age 4,2 and 6 months). Any tips or ideas to make life easier? He always helps a lot so I am a bit nervous having them by myself

Reset the house before you go to sleep every night, even if it's super late. Get rid of all dishes, sort bottles, declutter toys off the floors, clean highchairs, do absolutely anything that is going to make your life easier the next day. Fill water bottles and put them in the fridge, replenish all nappies and wipes downstairs. Get outfits out and prepped for all the DC. We normally agree to set a 1hr timer when all DC are asleep, and blast some jobs off until the timer goes off. Everything to me is organisation and prep work. Takes the stress out of the next day.

Have you planned anything for when he’s away like seeing friends or family or going to soft play?
