For me, I lose 90% of my life energy during dinner. The kids don't eat and/or whine, and I can feel the life force just leaving my body.
Bath time is sometimes hard too, but dinnertime is always a battle!!
What part of the day with your kids drains you the most?

Dinner for sure. DD has gotten all "I'm a toddler and now I don't eat things" on us lately. Ugh. Always a struggle!

The time between second nap wakeup and when daddy gets home from work is tough!!

@Beyond2: yes!! Those last couple of hours seem to really drag before Daddy gets home in the evenings.

Between dinner and bedtime. She would go to bed at 6 if I would let her, but then she'd get up at 5 am, so I try my hardest to push til 7. It is a whinefest every night 
I HATE whining, I would prefer crying!

Getting dinner ready is always tough. I'm busy and exhausted, lo is hungry and getting tired, and I'm trying to tidy up before dh gets home.

Bedtime, since it varies every day (DD is 7 weeks old) and we are on her schedule.

For me it is the midmorning when lo is tired and blowing out a million diapers. Not the best combo for either of us!
Late at night can be draining if she is tired and keeps popping off a side lay. I think for the future mornings could be hard... at least now I am home with her with no set schedule.

The time between the afternoon nap and dinner (when SO gets home!). Oy.......that's when I run out of entertainment ideas and LO gets craaaazy.

Between her last nap and bedtime. She refuses more than 2 naps at 6 months so we're on the 2, 3, 4 schedule. 4 hours is a longgggg time to entertain a 6 month old.

Mornings. There's always a tantrum for one reason or another. Also, i'm a lot more tired in the morning to begin with.

Just the last hours of the day, only because every day is so long! I always think DH is gonna come home early and rescue me, but he almost never does, of course. Haha. I always have hope, though! I throw longing glances at the door ...

Late afternoon, from 4-dinnertime. She's whiney, hungry, and just wants me to hold her while I'm trying to cook dinner. Sometimes I resort to watching Elmo on the ipad. Dinner can be frustrating if she decides she doesn't want to eat. But bathtime and bedtime are usually good.

The hour before bedtime. Usually I get bugged to play cards until he wins a game. (I never LET him win!)

The last few days - the two hours after I've put her to bed when she is waking up every minutes and whining for her dummy to be reinserted.
Usually though it's the last hour before daddy gets home when she's tired and grumpy and I'm tired and grumpy and I just want the day to be over!

6-8pm. Every.single.night it's Stage 5, sound the alarms type meltdowns. Only 4 hours until it's that time.. *shudder*
