I am lucky. I just started sewing/quilting. I have a 13 year old boy, 9 year old girl, and a 16 month old boy. The two older ones watch the baby for me if I promise to teach them as I learn. Which was a pleasant surprise coming from the older boy but yay! So we all clean together, then take turns on the sewing machine. Then, every now and then, the hubby will take everyone to the park or his mom's and I get time all to myself. You just gotta take it as it comes, whether it's a few minutes or days at a time, lol
