[quote=Anonymous]OP here.  Thank you so much for the helpful replies so far :)

I should have clarified.  My son naps but for extremely short times (like 30 minutes minutes once a day...MAYBE twice.)  So by the time I start trying to do laundry, or make a meal he is awake.  I just didn't count that as a nap because its so short.

If I dropped the day at work I would still have him at daycare for the day (though I would pick him up earlier I'm sure).  The day would be solely for me to take care of things that I cannot do when my son is home.

We do a lot of take out or I try to make simple things but I feel like we eat the same thing all the time (and probably not the healthiest stuff).

I don't mind cleaning the house at all I just don't have the time to do it so I think I am leaning towards having a day rather than hiring someone.

I do think we need to invest in a babysitter though.  Any suggestions on where you found yours? I know about care.com but I feel like the babysitters I have seen on there want 20/hr.  That seems like a lot for just one child (we live in rockville if that helps).

We already order most things online from diapers and amazon.  We still need to run out and get groceries sometimes though.  I have found that when we have used peapod, a lot of the stuff we normally buy at the store isn't available through delivery.

But yeah we may delay having a second at this point.  I wanted them to be close in age but the increase in stress is probably going to be too much for now.[/quote]
