I have a helpful suggestion.  Sometimes I follow my own advice, and
sometimes I forget how helpful it is, and feel discouraged.  This is
it:  Get a nice gym bag and fill it with "at home" or "jazzercize" 
clothes.  On your way to the car , after work, stop by the restroom
nearest to your car and slip into your "at home" or "jazzercize" 
clothes.  Fold your good work clothes neatly.  Go home.  Smile - cause
when you get home and your daughter yells  Mommmmmmmmmy - you are ready -
you have joined the 'at home' crowd.  Do not, I repeat do not - put
away the work clothes until your daughter is in bed.

This procedure eliminates the desire to want a few minutes privacy to
change clothes and use the restroom in peace just when the children
want to tell you all their achievements or problems.  Try it.  You will
like it.
