[quote=Anonymous]Seriously, OP, right now, go to care.com, and post an ad for either a housekeeper or a nanny. Yes it’s on you (and not DH) to do this, and to hire and train someone, but the sooner you start the sooner you get to a point where you have someone you know and trust and like who can help you.

Our hiring process for a housekeeper took maybe 3 months, during which time I posted an ad, interviewed a few people, failed to find what I was looking for, modified my ad, interviewed again etc. Our housekeeper is not perfect but good god is it money well spent, and in my opinion services (rather than stuff) is the best way to spend money.

Our part-time nanny we hired, even though I SAH, precisely because we wanted someone who could get to know our children and our routine and be available as needed. Half the time we pay her we don’t really need her at all, but on the other hand she knows all the different soccer fields my kids play at and can jump in at any time to take over, and it would have been much harder to get to that point with an occasional babysitter.

I get that you’re annoyed with your DH but you can definitely take 6 months to put in place the help that you need and then, if you want, go back to work. [/quote]
