[quote=Anonymous]I have a 1 year old who sleeps very well at night and work 55-60 hours per week at an intense job. When I am home, I either spend time with my toddler or do house admin / toddler stuff.

We see friends with the toddler once per week usually.

With everything I almost never manage to get more than 6.5 hours of sleep. I feel chronically exhausted. I've always needed more than 7.

What else can I cut?

I don't do a lot of house chores, we have someone come in every 2 weeks and I do very little in between. I also only cook for the baby. But there's random stuff that comes up all the time - like we need a new nanny now, our fridge broke down, toddler needs another doctor appointment, had a leak - point is, there is always something.

I don't exercise so I cut that out as well but I walk quite a bit - work in the office 4 days a week and then walk with the toddler.

I don't watch TV b/c I don't have time.

What else can I outsource other than additional childcare? [/quote]
