[quote=Anonymous]Tandem FSO with two high need kids who are now teenagers. It has been very difficult and in DC assignments one of us has had to take a lower key job. Especially hard when they were little and during language training. Even then, we still had a nanny and housekeeper once a week and just bled money until we could recoup overseas. Now we are back permanently. It is VERY hard with two teens and all the activities. All of the answers above about maxing efficiency in meals & having less make sense. Also, fwiw, having all the help overseas was not great for me as the female part of the tandem because I was still in charge of all the planning, payments, management despite being higher ranked and a section director overseas....so the female / male inequity continues even with a nice and caring spouse. Parenting is exhausting and our employer is relentless. Good luck! [/quote]
