It's really tough when both parents are working a 40 hour week. I mean, that's the only way I've done it, but it's such a grind when they're little. Fortunately over the first two years of Matilda's life I took a fair amount of time off because I had writing projects that brought in some money. Just having the flexibility of an open schedule makes a huge difference.
It gets easier every year they get older, though. Casper will get easier, and by the time Dillo is in kindergarten you'll be amazed at how things are lightening up.
The school redistricting sounds nightmarish. Yeesh. That's going to cause such a huge backlash and the entire school board may find itself voted out.
