[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]No, generally we don't. We have a nanny during the workweek, but we don't live near our families and when they come they usually don't take our two kids (I'm pregnant with our third). My mom will occasionally do this but then if she's upset at some point down the road she will throw it in my face ("I came and helped you with XYZ"), so it's at a point where it's not worth it. My husband's parents will take our older child, but that's it. It's exhausting. [/quote]

I realize this is not helpful but I don’t understand why people like you choose to have more than two kids!

More than two kids requires at least one, and preferably two, of: SAH parent, Mary Poppins nanny, involved local grandparents

Otherwise, you’re dooming yourself to an unhappy, stressful marriage and life[/quote]

Amen - this is why we stopped at 2. [/quote]

+a billion

We stopped at one!

Two would mayyybe be feasible but I'm pretty high-maintenance about the amount of adult time I need in my life[/quote]

we just have the one! and no, we barely have any time for ourselves. we try, but its tough with no local help. this too shall pass![/quote]
