[QUOTE="retiredTxfeeder, post: 1317084, member: 52978"] We had a child the year before I went into feeders and a child the year after. Working evenings and nights worked out great for us. We had a neighbor who did childcare. If I was asleep when the wife left for work she would take the kids to daycare. If I was still awake, I'd make sure they were fed and I'd take them. Wife would usually pick them up. I scheduled all the kids doctor appointments for the afternoon, and I did all those. My son started playing t-ball, and I bid a job with a little later start time so I could stay there throughout his practices. Feeder jobs are great for having time to do other stuff. After the kids got older, it still worked for us. Instead of coming home and staying up to wind down, If I had a dr appointment or some errand that had to be run I would go to sleep as soon as I got home, get 6 or so hours of sleep and still have 5 or so hours before I had to be at work. Feeder hours don't work for all. Initially, I had a little trouble sleeping during the day. Dark curtains are a must. Unplug the phone to keep unwanted calls at bay. All my neighbors knew my hours, so they wouldn't disturb me. I had a note by my doorbell saying NO SOLICITORS, of course some door to door people can't read. Answering the door in your underwear is sure to scare off the Jehovah's Witnesses for at least a year :). If you're young, you can adapt, go into feeders the first chance you get. I waited too long. I retired this year at 59. Because of my knees, it's all I can do to step up on a curb without holding on to someone/something. [/QUOTE]
