[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Please don’t feel any shame about getting extra help. I got a nanny 8 h a week ( broken into two, four-hour shifts) when DS2 was born, and I’m a SAHM. We could only afford it for a summer, but it was a huge help to my mental health. Seriously, imagine 4 hours each Saturday to exercise with a friend, shower, do laundry, and thoroughly clean the kitchen while half-watching TV. You’re not being selfish. Promise.[/quote] You could also use the time to give your older child a break from your younger child. Maybe take DS1 on your walk, or to the park. Siblings of special needs kids go through a lot, too.[/quote]
