[quote=Anonymous]This is how we do it with 3 kids: - live in a lower cola (doesn’t apply to dmv but there are pockets that are less crazy) - kids go to public school, so they take the school bus - quick and easy meals, housekeeper weekly - my oldest two are 10 and 12 and they can do things at their ages like their laundry and pack lunches - staggered schedules. We have worked various combos of jobs but we have never both done a “9-5” thing. Right now he works from about 6-2:30, with a few extra hours here and there, and I work 8-4:30. He is remote, I am in an 100% on site. But we eat early (around 5:15) and have family dinner every night. The kids all do about one activity per semester and maybe one after school club that we don’t have to drive them to - re homework- a lot of American schools have gotten rid of homework in early grades. In middle school they can do it themselves. - focus on jobs with good leave policies vs a more interesting or higher paying job [/quote]
