I am a Work-at-Home mom with 2 toddlers (3yo and 1yo). It has never been our option to get a nanny because we want to be hands-on parents. Yes, my husband and I decided to quit our corporate jobs and now we're both working from home. However, our situation with 2 kids + home based work has been very challenging for us lately. Any tips on how to handle the kids and work with lesser stress and pressure?

We're on the same shoes! We only have 1 toddler but every day, it feels like we have 5 children to chase and jobs to handle well. Our little one doesn't really enjoy watching TV and gadgets like tablet/mobile phone can't entertain him either. He likes the old school games, which is good. He runs around, play with his toys, wrestle with his dad and cousins, biking and the likes. What me and my husband do is that we set a schedule. Whoever has the more free time, no strict deadline or flexible working hour has to be more focused on him. I'm usually in charge in the morning, once he wakes up until about 9am and then 5pm onward, until he falls asleep. My husband gets to enjoy more playtime with him and he tries to exhaust his energy so he can sleep well from 10am and sometimes in the afternoon. Hubby works on his job when our son is sleeping during the day and from 5pm onward. From time to time, we get some help from my mom and sisters, which usually happen when we're running on a deadline. I think setting the schedule work well for work at home parents without helpers. Also, check on what interests your kids the most and maybe redecorate the play area with that theme so they'll enjoy playing for a longer time. If his dad's on 'duty' and he wants to play with me, I give him a quick 10-minute playtime and then I explain that mommy has to go back to work. Hope these help.
