[quote=Anonymous]I would be hesitant to quit, because you might want private school for one (or both) of your kids. Also, you might not want to be dependent on just your husband’s income.

A few ideas of ways to survive:

Outsourcing everything you can might be the solution. Can you enroll your daughter in a special needs preschool?  If you keep the full time nanny, you might be able have her either take over some housekeeping/cooking duties so there is less for you to do or shift her hours so you have some time at home while she is taking care of the kids.

Hire a second nanny to cover a few hours on the weekends. Use the time to get stuff done, relax, or spend one-on-one time with one of your kids.

Also, outsource meals by any means possible. Hire a separate housekeeper to cook and do light cleaning. Or purchase takeout every night. Would your husband be able to be in charge of picking it up? Or get it delivered.

Finally, if you can swing it, try to take a day of vacation just for you. Leave like you are going to work, and instead enjoy a day just for you- rent a hotel room and sleep if that’s all you want to do. Or go to a spa. Or whatever will make you feel relaxed. If you have the leave, do it several times a year.

Finally, remember that things will almost certainly get a little easier eventually. [/quote]
