[quote=Anonymous]I had a housekeeper a few hours a day four days a week. She did the cooking four days a week, all of the laundry, and grocery shopping. She was also a little bit of a character and would be pissed if I left the house sloppy or didn’t eat what she has prepared. The thing I remember helping me most was getting a good audiobook, then only allowing myself to listen to it at night while I did mundane things around the house like signing permission slips and picking up toys. Gone Girl came out while my husband was gone for a year. I have never had such a clean house. Also, my dad coached my son’s 3 y/o basketball team. He lived 2 hours away, but it was just the right level of commitment for him. He felt needed, and it was really nice to have him as a routine part of our lives, but it wasn’t childcare or something he couldn’t miss. I really appreciated that. [/quote]
