Two working parents: How to prioritize family.

Like many of the families raising children in today's society, both my husband and I work. Our children are 6 and 3.5. During the week I am home during the day, while working weekends. My husband works Sunday-Thursday. We both add additional work days as needed.The thing is, my kids NEED family time. Both of them beg me not to go to work when my husband is home. Because of our work hours, meals are not spent together, or if they are, there's little structure. My daughter has been going through a stealing phase (started off with food, then toys from backpacks, and most recently shoplifting). We have been through a few assessments/interviews and by all accounts we are doing everything correctly with addressing the issue, but I feel like I'm failing as a Mom. My son is stubborn and moody (big surprise) and strikes out with his body when angry or frustrated. My daughter is sporting a big bite mark on her forehead this weekend.I need to create some kind of routine or reliability. I'm in the midst of decluttering so our apartment (2bdrm) doesn't feel so overwhelming with toys and stuff. I want to ensure that I'm giving them the best space possible.We have no family or friend support network. Everything is us 100% of the time. We've started seeing movies separately because we can't afford the sitter. And we use Scene points to pay. While it sounds horrible (and it is), our commitment to each other remains as strong as ever. We just lack any sense of intimacy these days (soooooo looking forward to my youngest to be in school so I can switch to working weekdays).My question for you folks, is those who work like we do, as ships in the night, HOW are you recharging your family batteries? Any suggestions would be welcome. I want my kids to stop feeling like they never get both of us at the same time. via /r/Parenting http://ift.tt/2jmDSQb
