[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We sold our condo in DC, moved to the suburbs, DW quit her full time job and works part time now, and we cut the cost of daycare because DS attends a co-op now. We are stretching a bit financially, but we are much happier and have a lot more time at home and with each other. [/quote]

OK... should have specified, short of getting a wife.[/quote]

The honest truth is that if you have a home and children, it takes time to be a homemaker.   Usually it boils down to at least a part time (20 hours a week) job.   Either

1.) someone (as above) moves to part time Work Outside of Home and does most of the homemaker jobs

2) you hire a nanny who does some of the homemaker tasks (kid related at least) plus get a cleaning service twice a week

3) you otherwise outsource other parts of homemaking (lots of takeout or pick up already prepared meals etc.; send out your laundry;  get groceries delivered) plus do a lot of homemaker work on weekends

4) each spouse pitches in 10+ hours a week on homemaker tasks

5) one spouse works all day AND does most of the homemaker tasks each evening and weekend.

Those are basically your choices.[/quote]
