[quote=Anonymous]This is a good question. I now work part time as an attorney and I'm happy but when I worked full time I realize in hindsight I should have hired out for way more help.

If you have a house cleaner consider getting one to come more often or I like the idea of some kind of housekeeper help to prepare meals / pack lunches, do laundry, every day dishes etc.

You didn't mention if you have a yard but I have a lawn mower company and we *should* have a landscaper if we cared how the yard looked.

My oldest has ADHD so now I feel the tutoring is "legitimate" but before I knew that I had a tutor to help with schoolwork. I felt kind of crazy about that but I reasoned that moms do help kids with schoolwork and I was outsourcing that.

I haven't done this but I feel I spend a lot of time planning bday parties for my kids and planning vacations. If money was no object I would hire a party planner and travel agents.

Put your husband in charge of buying gifts for the kid when your kids get invited to parties if he is willing & able to do that.

I also know of someone who had a regularly scheduled babysitter every Wednesday evening and that way she or her husband could always plan to stay late that night at work or do something else.

I used to use the website Treat to send bday cards to family members. Once a year I could go on there and write / schedule the cards for the entire following year and Treat would mail the cards at the correct time. You could put the address in once and it would save it for the future so that saved time in subsequent years.  Unfortunately I was apparently the only one using this service and Treat has gone out of business.  If anyone knows of another company that does this now please let me know![/quote]
