[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am a SAHM of 5 kids ages 9 and under. We homeschool. My husband is extremely busy. One part of being a high-earning family is having a large home that we open to others weekly, often multiple times. And that requires a lot of maintenance. Our house manager has changed my life. She comes two full days a week and one half-day and works from home one day. She does anything and everything house-related and also some childcare. A light bulb is burned out - I text or email her and she changes it when she’s next there. Garage door stops working? She’s on it. Just some examples. She handles pool cleaners, house cleaners, yard guys, HVAC, fridge repair, locksmith, general contractor, car inspections, really anything. And sets up for parties. It’s hard to find a good house manager - it took many months of working with an agency. But it became clear right away that we got a really good one. I highly recommend going this route to make your life easier. And it also means my husband isn’t working on honey-do lists when he’s home. (Although he is handy and enjoys doing some manual labor himself.)[/quote]

I wish there was some way of contacting you. We should be friends. I send to private school though. Can't imagine home schooling unless you hire people [/quote]

Do you mean hire people to homeschool? It’s really not too hard to do yourself. I enjoy it a lot … but I also have a nanny two mornings a week and use her and the house manager to watch the toddler while I do lessons. We have a new baby and aren’t getting anything done at the moment n[/quote]

I have full time help and a new baby and I cannot do what you're doing!

My husband spends hours working daily on paternity leave. Not complaining,  just it's a different lifestyle.  We don't have a house manager but we have a lot of help. I didn't want to be dependent on one person. [/quote]
