SAHMs, not being snarky, but what do you do all day? I just got laid off and trying to figure out what to do with myself. Still have PT nanny. [ Reply | Watch | Flag ]

I have a 2.5yo and a 6.5yo and it's summer now so I break things up in parts of day. AM, Lunch time, afternoon, evening... Go out in AM or Afternoon and do an activity outside the house. Have lunch or dinner out if possible... we do lots of picnics too. We are in burbs but near a city so we have lots of memberships at botanical gardens, zoo, children's museum, aqaurium. We also love to camp, hike, swim. So, plan some things but not overdone so you're not too busy - everyone will be exhausted if you do that. [ Reply | More

And if you have a PT nanny use the time that she's there to do your own stuff: clean out closets, finally put together old photo albums. Go through kids closets and pack away/donate anything that no longer fits them. [ Reply | More
