[quote=Anonymous]PP with one more thought on this. If you’re going to “employ” yourself as a SAHP, you should think through the metrics you care about. Labor cost/hour for your family might be really important! If it is, managing childcare and housework by yourself could be a very valid and worthwhile strategy. But it also might not be important to your family, and if it’s not, you don’t get any points for doing it. If you’re trying to maximize other things, and hiring help gets you there, it would be a mistake not to do it because it feels indulgent. If it’s in budget, hiring might be a really good strategy. You shouldn’t close that off just because it feels “indulgent.” [/quote]
