[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Between work and kids I’m drowning at home and would like to hire someone 20 hours a week to cook meals and clean/keep the house tidy.

Any suggestions where I can look or post for this kind of role?  I haven’t had luck with care..com since the pandemic for other roles. [/quote]

Then you aren't trying as most women manage very well every damn day.  Stop whining and complaining and get organized like the rest of us![/quote]

If she can afford it, why not find the help she needs? I have a FT nanny that cleans our house and feeds the kids dinner since my kids are in FT school and she only has them 3.5 hours a day. We pay her 35 hours a week and she works 12-6:30 every day. [/quote]

That’s kind of sad that your kids have dinner with the nanny every day[/quote]

No it isn’t. This obsession with having meals together as a family is all American and really weird to me. I spend plenty of time with my kids (especially since I never have to clean the house or do other chores) where we can talk, play, snuggle, etc. My family does not need to have dinner together[/quote]

It's mostly based on 1950s myths. But I still try and do it because those myths have shaped my perspective.

OP, regarding meal kits, I like to order the 2 person one, as my kids are picky. Then, I make simple additions, like a pot of rice, or scrambled eggs, fresh bread or basic sandwiches and fruit/veg. It seems to work and they are trying new things in a non-pressured sort of way.

I use Hello Fresh and I really like their "Market" products, which allow you to add breakfast bundles and snack packs at reasonable prices. [/quote]
