[quote=Anonymous]Ok first recognize your DH is being a jerk. This is HIS KID and you have HOUSEHOLD INCOME in a marriage so he can knock it off with the aggrieved attitude already. Practically: can you discuss this frankly with your manager at work? Can you work a reduced schedule or just take leave for a set period of time? The sicknesses may well ease in the spring and that could give you both a breather. Can you really not afford a nanny? The early childcare years are the hardest but they're also short in the grand scheme. Can you draw back on savings or retirement to fund better childcare for a year or two? What about a nanny-share, which is noticeably cheaper than a full time nanny of your own? [/quote]
