[quote=Anonymous]OP, as someone who did a lot of outsourcing when our kids weee little, I think it really does depend on your and your spouse’s preferences. If you *had* some free time, how would you prefer to spend it. I took a months-long LOA from work and realized that it didn’t matter how much free time I had, there were just some projects around the house that would never get done by ME. So I hired those out (a professional organizer was wonderful).

The day to day clutter/ chores wasn’t fun to come home to so we hired a housekeeper to come every single weekday for a few hours. And she was flexible about what she did so she would go to the dry cleaner, do dinner prep if needed and would even cart an older kids around to activities if needed. But our floors were swept of crumbs, the laundry was always done and the sheets/ towels were regularly swapped out.

We spent less on extended childcare because my job was flexible and storytime, bathtime, cooking dinner, etc were enjoyable to me.

Good luck. [/quote]
