6:30-7am wake up nurse baby make coffee some of my kids wake up on their own.

7-8am wake up oldest kid. Start the nudging to get dressed help anyone who cant find their clothes. Make breakfast, lunches, put snacks in bags. Bus comes at 8:15 I try to have them wait closer to 8:05 in case its early.

8-9 get baby, toddler, nursery kid dressed. Nurse baby again, dress myself, make myself food for the day. Once that is done we all leave. Nursery kid goes to school, DH drops me off at work and he does whatever he needs to that day.

9-5 approx work

5/5:15/5:30 Based on when I got to work to start with- go home and nurse baby while the dinner I cooked at the beginning of the week heats up or I cook from scratch.

Eat at 6 or 6:30. Then homework and showers for different kids.

Oldest goes to masmidim at 7:30 and while is gone I get the little kids to sleep. Once he is home at 8:30 he eats his 4th snack, does his homework, talks to me or his father. Whatever he wants. Be in your room time is at 9:30. I dont police his bedtime.

I am off duty at 10 and try to be asleep by 11.

I’ve been doing it since my first.
I’ve successfully kept kids home until age 2. This year the fact kids come home at 3 is more time then I’ve had in past.
They play near me with toys, color, crafts, eat snack.
I think bec this is the only life my kids know they have adopted well to it.

I have some flexibility about what hours to work, but this is approximately what I do.

7:15-I start working (kids get up around the same time, but usually are fine while I work. I just need to make sure they're safe.) When DH gets home from shul, he gives kids/himself breakfast, sometimes dresses them, packs the food I prepared in DC's bag.
8:45-DH leaves. He drops off oldest at school. I babysit while I work.
9:15-babysitter comes and takes over.
1:30-babysitter leaves and DH babysits while he has lunch.
2:30-I babysit while I work (this used to be naptime, and but we're trying a new schedule)
3:15-We leave to do school pickup
3:45-Get home and start naps. continue working, if I started late in the morning. Then do assorted chores like cleaning lunch box, preparing next day's lunch/snacks, sweep kitchen, clear the table, fold laundry, wash dishes, prepare supper, work on my side jobs. Sometimes take out a special activity for after naps, or prepare a little snack. I usually have some time for myself also, which I really appreciate.
6/6:30-get kids, if they didn't get up yet. Play with them and/or offer a snack. If supper isn't fully ready, then finish/heat it up. When it's still light out, we would go out to the park or grocery shopping, but these days it's already dark Sad .
7:30-DH comes home and we all eat supper.
8:30 (may become a little later because of late naps)-bedtime. Usually, DH does most of this. For example, I put out PJs and he changes them and brushes teeth, sits with them a little. Meanwhile, I clear up from supper.
9-DH leaves to learn, and I have some time to get ready for bed, clear up or prepare for next day as needed.
10:30 I try to go to sleep...usually it's later

Fridays start out the same, but I stop working and do school pickup at 12.
Sundays, DH has the same schedule at Monday-Thursday. I usually babysit and also try to work in the morning, naptime, and evening.

7:00 a.m. - alarm clock rings, wake up boys who go to minyan
7:20-7:30 a.m. - wake up girls and younger boys. They all get dressed independently.
8:00 a.m. - all kids are out of the house. My husband drives morning carpools. I have the luxury of getting dressed and making my lunch with no one home. Will throw in a load of laundry, tidy up, put together supper, if I have time.
8:45 a.m. - go to work
4:30-5:00 p.m. - leave work and either drive a carpool or go home.
5:00-6:30 p.m. - snack, homework help, make dinner, give attention to the kids, etc. until my husband comes home from work.
6:30 p.m. - Dinner all together
7:00 p.m. - clean up, more homework help or whatever the younger kids need, drive older girls to friends or activities, go to the store or other errands, laundry, make shidduch phone calls, talk to older kids after younger ones go to bed....
Usually go to sleep sometime after midnight.

7:30 wake up with my baby
7:35 wake up toddler, change and dress both kids
7:45 feed toddler, pack her lunch
8:00 Husband drives toddler to school
8:15 - 9:15 I feed the three of us who are home, possibly including solids for baby but definitely nursing

9:15 - 1:00 Husband is WFH, I am otherwise alone with the baby. No precise schedule. Light housework, Imamother etc., generally take care of baby, play with him for a few minutes when he's seeking interaction, let him play on his own. I have some toys out for him and he is practicing standing up against everything he can. I put him down for a nap at some point. I might also take him grocery shopping. Lunch also probably happens now.

12:15 One of us leaves to pick up toddler

1:00-5:00 Toddler plays with baby, I feed toddler second lunch/linner when she wants it, toddler might take nap but usually just goes down for the night early. I hang out with both kids a little, and do more light housework.

~5:00 Make dinner
~6:00 Eat with husband
~7:00 Generally clean up and hang out with baby
~9:30 Baby goes to bed, I watch shows with my husband until we go to bed

I don't do a lot really. Thinking about other things to add to my day. They have to be compatible with being on-call for a baby 24/7.
