[quote=Anonymous]OMG - I would love that PP list of outsourcing. I thought I outsourced to the hilt! We have a housecleaner who is independent. She only charges us $100 and does laundry but we use her every week so it's $400/month but it's prob the equiv of 2x a month for the same price. Our house is 4BR/3 floors (but she only vacuums basement every other week) and about 3000 sq ft with 3 1/2 BA. We have 2 cats but no dogs so our 2 kids + us take turns doing litter every 2 days. We don't have a health club membership but my husband does PT every week. We do A LOT of take out for dinners but it's mostly Chipotle/5 Guys/Chick Fil A so we only really cook 2-3x/night. We also order out from some nicer restaurants so admittedly most of our budget goes to food. It's mainly feeding our 2 tweens v us eating - sometimes we just eat leftovers/snacks. We make our son mow the grass and we used a cleaning service once in the Spring/Fall. We do a lot of ordering from Amazon and other than that really don't have other outsourcing needs. Our kids are old enough to stay home for date night for us but when younger, def did use babysitters. I had a nanny for them (actually 2 - one was more a weekend nanny as needed and the other nannyshare for the week) until K for the youngest. We do a lot of carpools/making the kids bike if close enough for activities. We make our kids empty dishwasher, take out garbage, help us cook breakfasts for dinner that kind of stuff on a regular basis. They are 11 and 13. Had I needed it, I would def outsource prof organizer but maybe not interior dec. I would def love to find someone to drive my kids to activities because I feel that my 2nd job is driving a Taxi carpooling![/quote]
