[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We had 3 in 2.5 years. I SAH and DH is partner at a firm and works long hours including some travel. I’m able to do it all myself and while it is non-stop and takes a lot of energy, it’s definitely not impossible. [/quote]

If your spouse is a law partner (so presumably you have money) why do you do it all yourself? Why not hire someone to help with bedtime sometimes so you can get some relaxed snuggle time with each kid 1:1 on occasion? Why not have someone stay home with baby so they can get a good morning nap while you take out older kids? Not a judgement question, just real curiosity bc I approach it very differently with my 3 [/quote]

I want to be super hands on and do things together as a family. The older two are in preschool 3 mornings a week so that is some built in time with just the baby I suppose. I do have a cleaner every week which is what I wanted help with.[/quote]

Does dh take over at all on weekends or is all of your time dedicated to childcare / preparing meals for 3 / getting 3 to bed etc 7 days a week.  with my 2 - that goes from about 530am to 9pm to get everything done. Doing that 100% of the time 7 days a week would break me (I work - so while I still work all those would (either home stuff or job) at least work is a different type of skills and activity [/quote]
