[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I agree one of the PPs comes off like Marie Antoinette.  But I'm WOHM most days -- and I have to agree about outsourcing some of the burden, if you can, either to paid help or to DH.

Somebody on DCUM used to pop up all the time to plug a book called "House Cleaners Are Cheaper Than a Divorce," or something like that.  Having someone else clean your house removes a huge part of the burden, and basically stops me from screaming at DH and the kids on a daily basis.

Also, see if you can outsource ... I mean "share" ... more of this burden with DH.  My DH does a lot of the cooking.  Maybe talk to your DH about how stressed you are, and see where he can help, with shopping or chauffering or something else.[/quote]

I agree with PP - if Ms. Antoinette can hire maids, nannies, and family to help her 'balance' her life - is that really achieving a work/life balance. Sure, but then how would she expect that everyone could / should do the same? It's as though she doesn't realize other people can't afford to buy their balance.[/quote]

LOL so freaking jealous. Ms. Antoinette here. My paid help consists of before- and afterschool care and a biweekly cleaning service. You know what I don't have? Free time. Time with girlfriends. Time to watch TV. You know what I do have? A good marriage, two wonderful children whom I adore, a kick butt career and a well kept house. That's my idea of "having it all."[/quote]

You know what you don't have?  Character.  So apparently,  you can't have it all, even though (especially if?) you think you do.
