[quote=Anonymous]We are a typical two working parent household, and have two young kids, 4 and 1. Between my job, my kids, the house, and chores, I always feel overwhelmed. I don’t want to be just getting by during these years, I want to enjoy them as much as I can. But it feels like every moment I’m not working I have to do chores- cooking healthy meals for my kids (one of whom has bad allergies so takeout is not an option), meal planning, grocery ordering and shopping, cleaning up after cooking for everyone, clothes shopping and returning, holiday planning, etc.

Don’t really want this to turn into “dh should do more,” because he just wont do those things and claims he “does chores that I don’t do.”

We have a full time nanny who works while we work, and house cleaning every two weeks. I acknowledge that this is a great starting point- but how do I manage my time or more efficiently prioritize/outsource “the admin.” We are UMC but not wealthy enough to afford that much more help, though could potentially swing the cleaning service once a week.[/quote]
