[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]People say “outsource” like it’s so easy. But frankly, unless you find a unicorn nanny or housekeeper, you often have to be satisfied with sub-par results. Either you hire them because they’re great with kids and reliable (which I personally prioritize) and put up with their housework (done only while kids are in school). Or vice versa, they’re good at the house stuff but barely converse with the kids. And if you hire multiple people to specialize then you have to micromanage even more people. Let’s face it, it’s not always cream of the crop in terms of intelligence or executive function going for these jobs. Sometimes it feels easier to do it yourself![/quote]

Strongly disagree with this. There are plenty of decent candidates. I’ve had wonderful nannies and my housekeeper is fantastic.

The women I know who dislike any outsourcing have insane expectations and are controlling. They also don’t let their husband do anything or have made it where their husband isn’t an equal partner but they would claim they don’t know why.
