So.., Never had this problem as a single parent raising my infant son but it puzzles me when I’ve seen others say it occasionally. I’d ask how do you spend your time? For me, it was pretty simple once he started sleeping through the night. - Wake at 7; feed ourselves - Around 8am: Playtime for him; I check and respond to email. Sometime he’s in my lap while i do this. we also work from the bed or floor. I might write code or documentation, etc. - Sometime before 10: We take a walk; have a snack - 10am: first meeting. tell team it’s me and the kid. proceed with meeting as normal - 11am: More meetings or i work on a thing with baby in tow - 12noon-2pm: lunch and siesta; this varied and sometimes was a bit later or shorter depending on the project. the key thing is that if you put baby down for a nap; you should get at least an hour yourself - 2pm-5pm: playtime, emails, coding, meetings with lots of 15-30 minute breaks for walks, tummy time, feedings, singing - 6-7pm ish: dinner time and 1:1 time with no distractions - 7pm-8pm: bathtime, book reading, kid stuff, start winding down for bed - 8-9pm: adult exercise or television - 9-11pm: stay up later if you have energy and do work stuff or work on a personal project. - sometime before midnight: go to bed! WEEKENDS: - ship the kid off to grandma or an aunt for the whole or partial weekend and grind out 8-12 hours on your passion project or just go have fun
