[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You don’t need to have one person per kid, OP.  Even if you were a SAHM, you would have large chunks of they day where there was only one parent with all three kids.  I am sure that your two kids don’t spend much of their day in 1:1 care right now.

What sounds like more of an issue is that you are doing a lot of work from home while your kids are sleeping or occupied with activities.  And I have to agree that another child will definitely make working at home without childcare more difficult.  [/quote]

True, but most of the SAHM I know with this situation really limit the number of activities each kid can do, like 2 max per season. And there is a lot of screentime. It's not so much a matter of ratio as it is lifestyle.[/quote]

I don’t the basis for claiming SAHMs allowing more screen time.  Every nanny my kids have had has allowed far more screen time that I have asked for.  It is so hard to get a reliable nanny, it is something I have had to accept..  I have never seen a nanny or daycare worker more engaged with kids than their actual parents.[/quote]
