I'm trying to get her to sleep later ... since the time change, so I let her sleep in. Which could be anywhere from 630-8. So nap time is always different. I always figure it's about 2 hours after she wakes up. She tells me when she's ready by getting fussy! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/schedule-while-at-home#post-26044 Fri, 02 Dec 2011 11:21:58 +0000 Mrs. Bee 26044@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@artbee: charlie has always been an excellent napper... post nap training that is! and we can always get him to nap in his stroller if he doesn't nap. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/schedule-while-at-home#post-25904 Fri, 02 Dec 2011 07:11:29 +0000 heffalump 25904@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Bee: what if he wasn't tired at nap time though? How did you get him to nap? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/schedule-while-at-home#post-25845 Thu, 01 Dec 2011 23:56:03 +0000 Mrs. Bee 25845@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>i think we'll be a little more lax as charlie gets to be your son's age since he'll probably drop his nap (the horror!). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/schedule-while-at-home#post-25828 Thu, 01 Dec 2011 23:23:17 +0000 Rosie Girl 25828@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@ecogirl: DS is 3 1/2. He had a nap schedule when he was little, but now it just seems to be that whatever happens during the day happens! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/schedule-while-at-home#post-25822 Thu, 01 Dec 2011 23:21:40 +0000 ecogirl 25822@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@rosiegirl how old is your baby? I always said we would keep a strict schedule but it went out the window. Now that he's almost 3 its easier and especially because he has lots of playdates so his day is pretty scheduled. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/schedule-while-at-home#post-25816 Thu, 01 Dec 2011 23:17:47 +0000 Mrs. Bee 25816@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>i wasn't a sahm mom but we've always been very strict with charlie's schedule. it was just much easier for us if we knew that he'd always nap at a certain time and go to bed at a certain time. we need our break (when he naps), and our work time (after he goes to bed). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/schedule-while-at-home#post-25798 Thu, 01 Dec 2011 23:07:19 +0000 mrs. wagon 25798@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>When I was a SAHM we had very, very, VERY set schedule. I'm such a control freak that I needed a set schedule to survive. Unfortunately, kids change all the time so I'd get unbelievably stressed when he woke up early from his nap or wasn't hungry at the feeding time. I finally learned how to compromise with him though: we'd have a set schedule, but it would pretty much change every week. Once I accepted that, things were much better. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/schedule-while-at-home#post-25452 Thu, 01 Dec 2011 14:09:02 +0000 Wondermommy 25452@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have tried and tried for 3 years now to set a schedule, and it always fails miserably. We do have a routine, but it can vary by about an hour in either direction. And not every day is the same, so that usually throws off whatever success I've made. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/schedule-while-at-home#post-25451 Thu, 01 Dec 2011 14:08:43 +0000 heffalump 25451@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We aren't. My lo is younger, 4 months, so it's more about making sure she gets her naps in and eats every few hours. But sometimes she wants to nap earlier or later than normal, and I don't care. As long as she naps and is happy.</p> <p>In between we don't do set things either. Sometimes we just play, sometimes I clean, it have a random project, or well go out to lunch. We're very flexible. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/schedule-while-at-home#post-25444 Thu, 01 Dec 2011 14:00:06 +0000 Rosie Girl 25444@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Since being a SAHM, it seems that we don't really have a "set" schedule. We do do certain things everyday, but times and such is just kind of up in the air. Here is a little break down of our day:</p> <p>Get up and eat breakfast while watching cartoon<br /> Play<br /> Shower, get dressed and ready for the day<br /> Do a project<br /> Eat<br /> Play (me clean the house)<br /> Run any errands we might have<br /> Pick up the house<br /> DH comes home<br /> Eat dinner<br /> Play<br /> Wind down for bedtime<br /> Sleep!</p> <p>Our schedule changes a lot though. Sometimes we will watch cartoons a little longer, or have no errands to run, or so many that we have to leave extra early. We aren't on a set time schedule though. Are you? </p>
