Can she not play in the garden while you work*? Or is it not safe enough there yet?
Not yet, no. Need to also put in a small side fence to stop her fucking off into the neighbour's brambles. But that needs more clearing before that can happen. There's also still loads of fairly dangerous rubbish that keeps coming out of the ground (broken glass, rusty pointy things etc.). She can be quite demanding with play so it needs either ms_com or myself to relentless push her on the swing or answer the "what's that?" questions.
What I used to struggle with was fitting things in without then leaving my OH to pick up the childcare
Nail, head.

What I used to struggle with was fitting things in without then leaving my OH to pick up the childcare, or leaving them alone in the evenings. Seem to get guilt from both sides. A 2nd child really helps with this as all your free time is removed, so you just have to watch things fall apart while your TDL grows.
I feel for you though. That retraining wall will be hard to segment into lots of short jobs like you can do with painting or just clearing the garden.
