You'll have to shop whenever you have a spare moment and have dinner ready for your hungry brood. Spending time with your kids after dinner playing games, reading, and doing homework is the rewarding part of parenting.

The question here is, how to fit a social life into your busy schedule and how it will impact your children. |
