[quote=Anonymous]Do you have a nanny?
We kept ours even when the kids were in school and shifted her hours to cover until 7–that was hugely helpful with the sports stuff.
We are also in a minority in that our kids go to public school even though his profits could easily cover private.  Public is so much easier.  They get a bus or walk.  All their friends live in the neighborhood.  The other neighborhood parents are great about covering emergencies and sharing car pool.   I do not know how on earth we would have done it with private school and not having that community in close geographic proximity.  Sadly our nanny was older and quit during the pandemic so we’ve been stitching it together without her, although our kids are now hitting driving age.

He also really has to be able to step up when he can.  Mine works from home 2 days per week and generally does sports carpool on those days.  He takes his laptop and works in the parking lot while the kids play.  He really does a lot more of the sports stuff than I do.  He also does all the finances which he can do from his computer anywhere and handles stuff like the car maintenance and hvac maintenance that can be scheduled for when he’s available.

We also have a list of chores for the kids that they are expected to help with.  They’ve been unloading dishwasher since they were tiny for instance.

And I’m also comfortable with a lower level of parenting than most people in this area are.  [/quote]
