[quote=Anonymous]Mom of 4, ages 2, 4, 6, and 8. We do daycare (and now preschool with extended hours) for 2 and 4, and before and aftercare for 6 and 8 yo DCs. We had a nanny for DC#1, but I like that each child gets activities tailored toward their age in daycare, so switched to daycare when DC #2 was born. My job is somewhat flexible and I WAH on Fridays, but it doesn't impact childcare much. I do go grocery shopping Friday afternoon before I pick up DCs to avoid going with them. We have a housecleaning service 1X per week. Now thinking about also getting 2-3 hrs of other housework outsourced - laundry and picking-up a bit. I'm more worried about upper elementary and middle school and activities getting busier. Right now it is fairly minimal that we have activities on weeknights. At that point, we may stagger our schedules so I can be home by 4 (I have a 20 min commute). [/quote]
