I've been a work from home dad for the past 10 months taking care of my 11 month old. The older she gets the less she naps, and unfortunately I really only get to work when she is asleep. I'm worried within the next year I am going to have to stay up all night just to keep my 30 hr/week schedule up.
I actually did this backwards from the OP where I was doing freelance work but now I have a salaried job. My wife also has a full time job.
I just had to get that out there as lots of the time I feel very alone and think no one else is in my situation.
Thanks for sharing your story. I will check out your website later when my daughter is napping :)
I think my son is about to drop down to 1 nap so I totally get it!
If it weren't for my partner going part time to help in the afternoons I'd be working all night long anyway, which is obviously not a feasible long term solution & can really take a toll on your sanity after a while.
But the year after that when they turn three they can play alone for a couple of hours and not need supervision. At least that's how all three of mine have been. So its gets even better.
