Honestly, it was really not that hard for me to solo-parent with one kid (the few times I did it) but with our two girls it feels really impossible, mainly because nights are still such a toss up and the girls rarely BOTH sleep through. I am all about hiring help when needed!

Even if he’s just out for the evening and coming home late, I have such a hard time getting myself to bed and going to sleep without him!!
