[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I both stayed home AND had a nanny. That way I could spend time with the older kids after school and into the evening when they needed me, after spending all day with the babies. [/quote] I think this is the ideal - not necessarily a full time nanny but someone 20 hours a week?[/quote] That's what we had. Someone from 2-7pm. They did all the kids laundry (minus bedding), prepping dinner, helped the older kids clean out lunch box each day and pack most of their lunch for the next day, and then entertained the two little ones while I ran the older ones around. Sometimes it just meant going with them to walk the dog while they decompressed from school. The nanny would feed the little ones dinner. [/quote]
