My kids are tired.

For those that dont know, I have 2 and 4 year old boys. I work full time, so we are gone from 7.30am to 5.30-6pm.

We are on property and as I am on my own, there are things that have to be done and due to their ages, they trudge along with me....I mean, they love it...but by the end of the week they are trashed and the weekends, are pretty busy.

The 2 year old sleeps in the afternoon, usually at least 2 hours, sometimes up to 3, but if I let him sleep past 4.30 in the afternoon.....he's up till all hours and buggered the next day.

He wont go down any earlier.

I make the 4yr have *rest* time but he wont sleep on the weekends, he sleeps during the day at daycare periodically.

They both just look tired and I dont know what else to do....any suggestions?

I feel guilty.
