[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We have a nanny/PA who works from 12-6pm. They  do the kids laundry, receive deliveries (groceries, etc.), walk the dog, pick up dry-cleaning, and get the kids from school and supervise them doing homework, taking them to after-school activities, setting the table for dinner, etc.

Then, we have cleaning people twice a week. OP, throw money at this problem.[/quote]

This op. Divorce would be more expensive. You’ll both feel better without the added pressure. It’s hard with 2 full time jobs, no matter how you try to split it.[/quote]

Sounds perfect. I’m not sure they can afford this- that is the problem. It may mess with the current daycare arrangement for the younger child also as not all allow PT..[/quote]

they need at least someone to offer some relief to op. So it doesn’t need to be someone from 12-6 every day, which pretty much will end up costing as much as a full time nanny.

It could be someone who comes in 2 or 3 times per week for a few hours just to cook a few meals, which seem to be the issue mainly, and could either do laundry or some tidying up (though in my experience it seems people who are willing to cook don’t like cleaning much). 5-10 per week is already a huge load off op’s back, but op needs to think well what would free up her own time and duties.
