[quote=Anonymous]Honestly, our house and yard are a mess because we don't have the budget for lots of cleaners and contractors, but we let it slide a bit to spend time with our kids. Or to make up work after their 20th exclusion from daycare for a cough, more realistically this last year. And we don't have dates or adult only trips. Ta-da! Since neither of us is a high earner with the ability to outsource more than day care and summer camps, we treat work as the secondary priority and take time off ourselves when kids are sick and quarantined. I've also stayed in a job that's 70-80% telework with a flexible enough schedule that I can pick kids up from school and day care between 3:30 and 5 PM both days. It's not my dream job but for now it lets me put family first. [/quote]
