[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]There are only so many hours a week so something has to give. My DH and I each work 3 days a week. So we each have 2 full weekdays to do kid activities/home maintenance/self care. We also had an after school sitter (until covid hit) so she would do dinner prep and laundry. I would make dinner simple. My family eats meat but I meal plan vegetarian meals for weekdays and then on weekends they can order meat if we’re eating out. Picky eater can also eat leftovers so you don’t have to make a new meal each night for them. [/quote]

How do you both have part time jobs?   3 days a week??  Where is this?[/quote]

We’re both physicians. It’s the norm at our group to do work 3 days a week. [/quote]

I thought you meant you worked at the office 3 days and WFH the other 2. You only work 3 days a week???? And you can’t figure out your life??? In that case, who cares there is no retail on your commute. You can take 2 hours one afternoon to swing over to Arlington / Columbia Pike and pick things up. It’s the time you aren’t spending shopping in person.
But the fact that you chose to move to a place where you won’t use the public schools - that’s on you. That’s where you over complicated your life. [/quote]

The physician PP is not OP. Physician PP and DH work 3 days a week total. They are not complaining.

OP and DH work 5 days a week with 3 days in office. World of difference.[/quote]
