[quote=Anonymous]I am a SAHM.  I have an 18 month old and we will have a second child in 3 months.  My spouse is an excellent co-parent but has a demanding job. We don’t have any family nearby, and our parents are older/unwell so even if they visited, I wouldn’t ask them for real help.   I would likely end up helping them
in fact!  I never thought I would say this, but I’m considering hiring some help so that everyone’s needs are met. If my first child was in nursery for part of the day, we wouldn’t need help,  but my son is too young for school (nursery seems to start at 3 years). Does anyone have any input on what has worked for them in a situation like mine?  And how long they needed help? I think part-time in-home childcare would do it, but I would guess the best nannies really want full-time work.  Alternatively, if you did this without help, how did you make it work?  Did you have any type of babysitting or strategies to juggle both young children’s needs?

I also realize that I’m lucky to be able to ask this question and I don’t think this is a problem.  I just want to do what’s best for my family.  Thanks in advance![/quote]
