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?

wow...hats off to you both to take this step and give so much time and attention to your kids :) I think since you both are working from home, the key here would be to plan your days in such a way that at least one of you has more time on hand to spend with the kids at any given time. Depending on the requirement of your individual jobs, one partner can tend to the kids while the other works, and vice versa, through the work day. Also, plan home chore responsibilities in such a way that you both share the same and it does not burden any one of you. Once your plan gets in motion, you'll also be able to form a routine for the kids, and by the end of the day your time will be better managed. all the best.
