[quote=Anonymous]I have to agree with the outsource suggestions, at our most demanding time we had a house manager full time to maintain the house, manage contractors like, run errands and take care of car stuff and grocery shopping. A tutor for academic enrichment 1x per week, someone who did laundry only 1x/week and biweekly house cleaning team. This was with four kids not one, and biglaw job and a flexible 9-5 (maximum) job for the other parent with no travel by either parent. That is what it took to ensure that all parent time nit consumed by work was committed to the kids, not dealing with other house-related tasks. Also as you make this transition you may want to decline all social invitations for a month or two to give your family more time together evenings and weekends.[/quote]
