What are some tips for balancing chores, work, and family life as an adult with children?

Their bodies will adjust to this schedule in no less than 2 weeks if you start one. THE CHILD will want that schedule because their bodies need and want that schedule.

In my opinion you need a bedtime that you follow you need sleep to maintain your energy and parental health.

So if you don't want to read the book By Dr. Marc Wessibluth get help for 6 months at least if it's a new born or small child . If your in-laws are your help have them read the book, because somebody will need to get this going for that new baby.

Hi everybody! I have been looking at posts on narcs and narc abuse on here and if has really helped me out a lot. I am currently struggling with my situation and need some advice/support. I met a narc last year, everything seemed to good to be true. Love bombing, always texting calling and taking me on dates. Everything changed when someone warned me about him out in public in front of him and who he is. This caused a conflict with us and the love bombing seized. he would tell me that everything is okay and i can come and talk. He would set a time limit on me and kick me out after that. he would then text me like everything was fine and we hung out again and after that he completely ghosted me for one week. He came back and texted me a week later laughing about the ghosting and acting like nothing had happened. he continued to text me ( not like in the beginning) make plans with me, then on the day of the plans he would just ghost me. One day he would act interested the next silence. i contacted him a month later and he acted like nothing happened. He was on a vacation and sent me a picture of another woman ( someone he allegedly met on the trip) to strike a reaction but i never gave him one. After the trip he came to my place and was extremely rude, accusing me of going on dates with a bunch of men. The next day he accused me of being an alcoholic and that he wanted nothing to do with me but said well maybe we can be "friends" then ghosted me i assumed at this point it was over and i would never hear from him again. He contacted me on the holiday a month later acting like everything was great. We ended up hanging out a month or so later and when we hung out it went well, i thought things were going in the right direction. after we hung out.. silence. I would try to text him and if he replied it would be very short then he just stopped replying. He ghosted me for almost three months. I thought he was done this time and of course he popped up again like nothing happened. At this point i was getting sick of if so i questioned him as to why he dissapeared and always does this. Of course he had some sob story about a injury and family member dying of cancer. I felt pity for him and he gave me an apology.. so i took him back stupidly. things seemed to be going smooth for a couple months, of course until his family member died and his injury got better he never contacted me and was distant. Menawhile, i was there for him during the difficult time for him. He lied to me about the funeral and never wanted to chat. I was chasing him and he would always claim nothing was wrong but when i said i thought he used me when he was down he could not handle it and would always tell me he didnt care and to go away. I would get so upset i would try texting him to work it out he would barelt respond and if he did he would not be nice about it. we did hang out a couple times after that, he would ignore me after. One day i was like hey i think you are seeing someone else, and i was like well ixam seeing someone so no problem if you are he said " buy bye good luck with your new guy stop contacting me" i was devastated and tried to get into contact with him for weeks then i just gave up and accepted it was over. He ended up contacting me a month later acting like everything was fine. He wanted to go out and have drinks i told him i would. He and i both seemed to have a great time. He ends up ignoring me again. I kept texting him trying to figure out what was wrong. He kept saying everything was fine and i said ok can we hang out again? He said maybe i was like why? He just kept saying maybe … our last conversation we had… i said what is wrong ? He said nothing is wrong everything is fine. I asked him why he keeps saying maybe. He said " maybe but i dont want to see you right now" i said why? He saix " im just not feeling it, if i wanted to date i would" i said why did you contact me less then a week ago wanting to go out? He said i didnt.. even though he did. So i said should i just move on or what? He said whatever you want to do. So i said that he was really confusing me and asked him if he had anything more to say before i move on? My messages were turning green so i panicked he blocked me and reacted irrationally. I said " omg did you block me? My messages are not going through. Even texted him on my work phone asking what was up. And called him twice ( please dont judge me i know it is pathetic i never was this type of girl before him) so he replied and said " Ok I'll block you now" then immedietly blocked me. He has never blocked me before since I have met him he will just ghost. Is this ths final discard aka " grand finale? Did i just push him too far? this has upset me so much its hard to even function.

Because the right professional will always have a strong relationship with those parents. No parent needs to worry about their baby or child when they go to work or out of town.

Lots of schedules you stick to.

Be sure you children have a sleep schedule. A meal schedule. And help getting that going.

If Russia needs the resources to fund the war in Ukraine, why doesn’t it throw open its doors to visa free western tourism? Enough people would be interested, & it would start to get some hard currency as €, CHF, £, SEK, $, JPY in the tills at shops.

If you have children 1 to 3 they will respond and be well behaved and thriving.

Plan for addtional help if you are experiencing sleep depreciation, or foggy mental health when a new born arrives. When you interview a professional Nanny and are going over what is agreed to if you say sleep schedule or just need for 1st new born to the perspective Nanny to help you if the Nanny looks at you and says how do you put a new born on a sleep schedule you are not hiring the right Nanny. So be clear of the duties neccessary and always check their references, a professional Nanny is not a baby sitter. Let's get that straight now and a professional Nanny only works with a contract for the time you both agree to. If you don't know how to write the contract a professional Nanny or the agency you hired the Nanny from will know. THIS is important to remember. It's your children and yes this is important.

I do want to say I did not work on the weekends, unless mommy and daddy needed time away for a date or special event. I made sure all my charge children parents learned how to do a sleep schedule,

Are there girls here who like group sex?

If you don't know how to sleep schedule get Dr. Marc Weissbluth who has an 800 page book on how to do do this and why. It works with 5 months to 18 year old children to adults.

By the way Mark Weissbluth is a sleep baby specialist/Doctor that is known world wide as the sleep guru for parents and babies to grown child. You may get his book at the library or Amazon.

Check the research on sleep scheduling.

Feed your children by 4 or 4:30 their last meal.1. Depending on the season they can play for 30 minutes in or outside. Then they come in for baths or showers . Get pajamas on next. Next they get time on computers, TV, I would let them do that on Mommy and daddy's room all together because it made all of them happy. At 7:20 I would read each of them in a cozy place . At 7:50 I tucked each of them in their own bed with kisses and soft music playing in each of their rooms. Oh by the way you need black out curtains on all their rooms that are already drawn. Soft lights to see for readings then turn away oNd on your way out put on the SOFT MUSIC just low enough to be soothing. Walk away from their bed a d don't look back or say any thing else then close the door to room and move on to tucking the next child in bed. And so forth. Be sure they have gone potty and brush their teeth before the start their Cosy down time in mommy's room with computer or TV age appropriate ,nothing violent, mine chose something on PBS if it was TV, when they started aging to 4 years they all wanted a no violent computer games . Which was fine . No fuss no arguments or crying was ever seen once this schedule started . One time when V. Was 5 and crying becaused she missed mommy I got my cell phone and immediantly called mommy at work (mommy was a surgeon but we always had a fail safe in place. If I couldn't get mommy I would have called Daddy who was a pulmonary specialist at the same hospital and tears were gone in 10 seconds. That only happened once with me as their professional Nanny and I was their Nanny with 4 charge children for 13 years. So trust me your life will change about bedtimes once you put every child from 6 months to 13 years to bed at age appropriate time . THey know and love the sleep schedule. With 4 children there was always a new born in that mix so please don't tell me this won't work. The newborn would be put down no later than 5 or 6 so that was no problem and yes the new born had a little different routine that involved swaddling, getting bottle and a pacifier if they needed one. Then I had plenty of time to get to other child as the family grew. When the new borns came along. Mommy or Daddy were usually home by 8pm at least one of them and I would leave to go home.

Your bed time can be different from theirs but children in school need to be falling asleep by 8 if they have school in the morning.

What you are doing is making a sleep routine your children need .

What does it feel like to "lose your looks" to age?

Making sure they all get no less than 8 to 10 hours of sleep this includes every single day .. Even on weekends!!! Yes weekends too.

It is also important for all meals to be eaten at the same time each day. Your children need to look at the clock and know what happens next if you want your children to thrive. This is critical. It wont be neccessary to complain about over tired babies or children once you implement scheldules your children and you are in charge of knowing.
