A friend of mine left her child with her mom and fetch her at 5 p.m. She attend to the child's needs by the time she fetched her. Her problem arised when the child get sick, she should be absent from her work. Another friend of mine hired a nany to take care of her child and when she arrived home, she personally attend to the needs of the child.

I am a single mother of 6 and I work 2 jobs. How do I do it? Apparently by the grace of God. Well, here is my daily routine...for the most part. 8pm I drive 8 miles to take kids to the sitter, in a neighboring town. Then I drive 10 miles back past my home to take child #4 to her dads. Then I drive 5 miles to work the hours of 10p-63a(spot welding). Then in the morning, I drive back to the neighboring town to pick kids up, go home to get them dressed, then take them to the daycare which is by the job I just left at 6:30, (by 8:00am(the school bus picks them up from there). Then I drive 16 miles to Akron (home of LeBron James) to take a nap at my fiance's house. I try to be there by 9-9:15a. Then I get up around noon, shower get dressed and go to my second job (sales) to be there by 1p. Then I work until about 5 or 5:30p. Then I drive back to the daycare (in hopes of beating rush hour traffic).Then we get home arond 6:15-6:30 I give them dinner then I laydown for a nap. And up at 8 8pm to do it all over again. And since the morning job I work my own hours, it is convienent for when there are doctor appointments, school functions, or court dates for my teenager. So, that's my Sunday through Friday morning schedule. Friday thruough Sunday afternoon are a free for all.
