[quote=Anonymous]OP, what's your childcare situation?  We found that having a nanny made life so much easier because you weren't bringing stuff home from daycare that needs cleaning/putting away, you don't have to worry about packing anything for daycare, you aren't having to get kids ready in the morning along with yourself, you never worry about sick days or school holidays, etc.  So many benefits.  So, that's where I'd start.

Also, get a maid.  And a gardener.  Find a dry cleaning service that picks up and drops off at your house.  Get a cook.  And a house manager is great when your kids are still little (our nanny transitioned into that role as well once they were both in K).  But I'd really consider starting with a nanny because that would help a lot.

For what it's worth, I'm a total Type A perfectionist, so at first it was hard for me to conceive of letting someone else handle so many tasks, but then once I did it and realized the benefits it has been such a stress reliever.  We have so much time to hang out together as a family, especially on the weekends, because we're not running around doing errands all day, etc.  We get to pick and choose what we want to spend our time on and it's great.[/quote]
