[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][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]

People have to put up with “sub par” help because they are paying subpar rates.  OP makes $400k per year.  If she is willing to  $200k per year to her employee, she will find a quality candidate.[/quote]

After taxes and outsourcing, she wouldn’t be working for very much then.

Yes, but it would be more than the $0 she gets from quitting.   
But more importantly, it would allow her to stay in her industry, since so many here have expressed concern that if she takes time off now, she would never be able to get back in.[/quote]
