Right now I go in the evenings until next week then I get to choose morning or evening. I found the kids a sitter and she doesn't care when I go so I just wondered what everyone else thought was the best time!

I am taking a psychology class and we did learn it is better for your mental health to go early before anything else. It opens up your brain and give you a little more energy throughout the day. Besides, It also speeds up your metabolism to make the gy really work. Give it a try.                  Good Luck!!!

Good for you. There's no need to be out until 2 am--not only do you need your zzz's, but it's not safe! Keep to your values, and respect your energy level. Don't let them persuade you to stay out. \n\nI'll pray for you!

I think it is a good idea.  My now husband always helped pay for sitters when we went out.  He knew I was a struggling single parent.  The alternative being you guys stay in for a night - which may or may not be an option depending on if you are ready to have him involved with your kids.

I turned my daughter's clock forward today. She was not impressed with me when she eventually realised that she had got up at 5am instead of 6 to go to work. Ha.\n\nAlso have a look at the response OneRunningMan gave to The Kimster  on the same subject.

My wife did substitute teaching when our son was young so she could be available to stay home with him if he got sick (or if she was sick or needed to do something else rather than work).  It worked out great!  She always got up and dressed as if she had to be at work by 7am.  She got calls almost daily, and I think part of the reason was because word got around that she was always there shortly after she was called.  She filled in several times with advance notice, but most of the time it was a last minite thing - often it was because of a teacher who woke up feeling sick or having something happen in the morning.  The best part about it was being able to say "I am not available, today, but call again" if she got a call on a day that she couldn't work.  (One trick is to never give the reason you aren't available and they'll always think you have already been taken by another school.) Good luck!

I know what you mean I've got an essay that's due on Friday, two more essays due in the New Year and my dissertation.\nI've got four children and I find the easiest way to get time on my own is to leave the kids with the wife and book a room in the library and stay there for as long as possible, untill I get done what needs to be done. Also if I have a lecture in the morning I get to the library for 6:00am and do my work pre-lecture.

My best holiday is for me like asking which child I love the best.  It is the next one coming up.  I suppose though I would say christman /Hanukah time because it seems to me that people are a little nicer then.

I get up at 4:30AM for work and need to pick up the kids at Kindercare at 4:30 PM. Then I make dinner at 5:30PM, make sure they take a bath, and put them to bed by 9PM. Then, it starts all over.  \n\n7AM ain't that bad, kid.  enjoy it while it lasts.

yes ... always have been ... I get in to work about 8:20-8:30 ... I'm supposed to be here at 8 ... it doesn't matter if I left the house 30 minutes earlier ... I would still get here late ... sigh ... \n\nI'm lucky that I have a relaxed office and that I can put in hours as needed ... sometimes its 8 hrs a day others are 10 hour days ... it all balances in the end

9 am (San Diego time) would work out fine for all three of you.  That's 12 noon in NYC and 5 pm in London.\n\nHope that helps!

Are you sure the friends thing isn't an option? Many parents take turns taking all the kids for a play day at the park or a home..... for just a few hours so that the other parents can get a break. Then the other parents take turns on other days. That way everyone gets a little bit of free time for one day of the vacation. Bring it up....some may be feeling the same way that you do. Otherwise ask the local high school for a reliable teen that would be a good baby sitter. Stay at your home with her, first few times...then when you know whether or not the person is a good sitter........go away for a few short hours.

well its 1 o'clock in the afternoon here and my partner has no probs with me being online as im on maternity leave from work.\n\nI dont go on late during the night much anymore because im too tired because of my pregnancy.  But sometimes i used to stay up late to update my websites and group.  My partner didnt mind it sometimes but at one point i did it for a week straight to catch up with some of my deadlines.  He absolutely hated it.  It wasnt because he was wondering what i was doing tho, it was because all he could hear was my typing lol.\n\nI wont go back to doing the net much during the night after i have bub.  I'll just stick to the afternoon's, that way i dont keep my partner awake when he goes to bed!
