SAHM/SAHD's what's your typical day like?

[Calypso]

My husband usually does the first morning feeding before he goes to work so I can sleep in a little bit. This is also a way for him to spend time with our children, Jonathan and Jenna. Then the next feeding, I feed my children oatmeal, and then they watch TV for a while b/4 they take a nap. When they wake up, we play with toys until it's time to feed them again. They get their bottles and will usually take a nap right after or within a few minutes. When they wake up, I'll give them little toys to occupy themselves so that I can give each of them a bath on bath days. Otherwise, we just cuddle or play, or watch TV. The next feeding is their veggies and fruit. Dad is usually home right after that and so they play with him, while I make dinner. Or, if Dad's late, I bring their bouncers into the kitchen and they watch me cook. Their last feeding is usually about 8 - 8:30 p.m., and then they go to bed for the night.

I manage to clean and do 'me' stuff during their naps or when they're playing by themselves with toys.

Of course, there are those days when we are out of the house running errands or just taking a walk around the neighborhood if the weather is nice. :)

Hi

My day is not always the same but we try to keep a routine.
We wake up around 7am have a bottle, play on the floor with mommy or daddy and or be held until 9am when they nap for approx 1.5 hours. They wake at 10:30 and then we go play in the exersaucer and jolly jumper and have a bottle around 11am. Nap again around 12:30 until 1:30pm if I am lucky and then we watch baby mozart or play on the floor or what ever. Bottle at 3ish and nap at 4ish until 5-5:30ish ceral at 5:30ish baby mozart until 6:30 ish naked baby time on the floor and bath at 7pm and bottle at 7:30pm and off to bed.
They were sleeping through but they are up a lot through the night the last week or so not to eat just to fuss.

I don't really have a schedule, but my baby's just 3 months old. I am also a graduate student, although I do my coursework online...

Bran usually wakes up around 6 or 7, so he gets fed and then usually falls asleep for an hour or so. Then he eats again, plays, takes a bath, gets dressed, eats, and falls back asleep for a short time.

He wakes up around 11:30 to eat again, play, and basically just interact until he needs to eat, be changed, or nap again...you get the picture. LOL! I try to do homework after dh gets home from work at around 8 (although now, he works out of state 4 days a week, so I have to figure out when to do homework...)

[remarkablyraven]

I am primarily a SAHM. I do teach preschool in the mornings, but I take Jamie with me :)
Morning is get the boys up, washed, dressed and fed. Then its off to school.
Afternoon, Jamie has his lunch and then goes to senior kindergarten.
WHen I get back from dropping him off, I make beds, load and unload the dishwasher, do laundry and general house work.
Then the boys come home from school. Its snack, homework, reading and playtime.
