[quote=Anonymous]most people I know who have three kids and two working parents have hired help on weekday afternoons: as many people have said, this person does pickups/activity shuttling, prepping dinner, setting the table, etc. Maybe try this and see how you feel afterwards. Seems very helpful. Also, teenage vegetarians can learn how to cook and prepare their own meals. I know several families where this occured, and the teens actually grew to enjoy cooking for themselves. (In our family, our "secret" is that we have one full-time worker and one part-time worker (me). I work about 20ish hours per week, so I can do the pickups/meal prep/grocery shopping etc without feeling stressed. Weekends we can enjoy. Everyone helps with laundry. Music lessons happen at our home.)[/quote]
