[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous] If you can afford it .. Hire help...ASAP Your marriage will thank you. [/quote] +1. My dad worked a lot growing up and my mom had her own career that was more flexible but she was very ambitious and in addition to taking on a lot at work, never hired help at home (besides house cleaners) despite being able to afford it. Don’t be a martyr! Get some help! Or quit your job. My husbands job is more demanding than mine and we have three kids, one of whom has some SN. I want to be the default parent. My team at work is going to be dissolved in the near term and after that, I will probably try being a sahm for bit. My husband needs to focus on work because he earns more than I do, and I prefer to focus on the kids - balance is becoming unsustainable with decreasing flexibility and RTO. Hire help or cut back at work. Or both. Enjoy your life. [/quote]
