[quote=Anonymous]Funny how in this thread people tell OP to hire a nanny + housekeeper + cook, or multiple staff, yet in another DCUM thread a SAHM is being told her tasks can't possibly be that demanding or valuable to her long hours spouse. OP, there is no magic solution. The options are the same. Outsource more, which involves hiring and managing more people, but takes some stuff off your plate. Posters have had good suggestions about hiring a single housekeeper+cook+errand person, supposedly at ~$15k/year for PT work. Find a way for you BOTH to reduce your hours (or at least yourself). Others in law have suggested this is possible. Get your husband to pick up even a small amount of slack. Not a complete solution for your situation - but necessary in any case. Good luck![/quote]
