[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Every working couple I know had a SAHM or PT mom by your kids age. Or the grandparents were intimately involved. Many had a au pair too. [/quote] Op here. That's what I'm noticing too and none of that is really an option for us. I don't want to SAH when DC is in school all day, PT is not common in my industry, grandparents are not intimately involved at all despite being nearby and retired (which irks the crap out of me, but that's a whole other conversation). Au pairs are not common around here (no longer living in DC). [/quote] Someone is out there you could hire to do some kid-ferrying, some light cleaning/laundry, some meal prep. I actually think that’s easier to find in rural, lower cost of living areas. It’s probably going to be a woman, 50+. Start asking around. [/quote]
