[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Baby is in daycare and we have someone come to do a deep clean 2x a month. I'm looking for more regular help - like the types of things a nanny might do around the house minus the childcare (I am happy with daycare and don't want to fix what's not broken). Is this a thing? Ideally would have someone come ~2x a week to do laundry, unload the dishwasher, maybe run the vacuum and, what I really want, is someone to cook for my 1 yr old so when we get home from daycare with like 30 minutes before bedtime I can give her something already prepped. Do people do this? If I can find someone I like/trust, what would the going rate be? I have no clue.[/quote]

Why do lazy people like you have children.[/quote]

I work 60 hours a week and would like to maximize free time to hang out with my kid/sleep. [/quote]

I have started to look at my priorities.  At this point, your 60-hour work week cuts into your kid time and leaves you exhausted. not worth it, imo, but your choice to keep on keeping on

Kids, however, will shake up your world.  When they are old enough for activities, will you outsource or take time to bring them yourself (your or your spouse)?  What happens when they face some issues?  a kid who's having difficulty at school - either academically or emotionally?  Some issues last a very long time! It gets really hard to handle them when you're working that many hours.

I would re-think your life.  I know it sounds extreme - but many of us have been there.

You're clearly not lazy.  You're overworked and tired - and scrambling to make your kid a priority over your work.
