I hear ya! I stay home all day with our 20-month-old who is already well into the "terrible 2" stage and our 3 week old newborn.

And I work from home in a job that requires me to return work within 2 hours of having it faxed to me, so there are times when I am plugging away trying to get work finished while fd is whining over the latest crisis (a toy she can't reach) and fs has decided he's ready to eat at least an hour-and-a-half before schedule. Plus they both need a diaper change and the phone is ringing and the dogs want out.

I will say that my husband is doing his part this time with the newborn and we are alternating "baby nights" so one of us isn't totally wiped out all the time. BUT, you would think the world was ending, the way he complains about it. Before, I probably would have caved and offered to just do it all the time so I didn't have to listen to the complaining, but I've wised up and learned that delegating can be a beautiful, freeing thing.
