cetacean,

You're SO lucky that DH watches the kids so you can go to the gym. My DH is the best, but when he gets home from a long days work and an hour and a half commute, he plays with the kids (4 mths and 32 mths), but no way would he survive if I left him alone with them

But while he is playing with them, I can usually slip down to the basement and do my workout. Not the same as the gym, but on days I can't make it to the gym, at least I have this option

I long for the day when I can leave my 2 kids with my DH
