[quote=Anonymous]Maybe opt for a teenage mother's helper in the afternoons - that part of the day was the hardest for me bc the kids are starting to tire, get bored of me, I run out of ideas, etc so having the local teenager come and play for like 3 hrs was great. And she was playful and energetic and my 3 and 5 yr old followed her like a pie piper (teens have that affect on young kids). And she was way cheaper than a nanny. Win-win all around. As for going from work to sahm ....keep in mind sahm isn't for everyone. There have been a ton of threads on this transition. AND dh has to be on board with it especially on how money will now be spent (1 verse 2 paychecks), household chores expectations ("honey, you're home all day, but you still couldn't find time to vaccuum?), channeling the kids' energy with a newborn in tow (where is the closest fenced in playground?), and you get the point.
