[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We both work demanding and rewarding jobs, and we have a baby and a toddler.

We have a wonderful nanny 8-5 M-F and she is great about picking up after our kids - we don’t want to ask more of her.

We have a weekly cleaner who does cleaning but nothing else (she is also a bit unreliable).

Outside of work, we want our time to be spent with our kids, and on special work and family projects - not washing bottles / doing dishes / cleaning high chair / laundry / house work and yard work / etc. (And it would be amazing to have any time for ourselves too!).

Those of you who have multiple kids and demanding careers - what help has worked well for you? And how do you not make it feel like you constantly have employees in your home?

(Please don’t say we shouldn’t have two kids or someone has to stay home - we like our life, we just want more time. Thanks).[/quote]

You shouldn't have had children because it is obvious that they are only accessory children.  You appear to have a high double income so hire a full time housekeeper/laundress/short order cook but also gourmet chef and who can be still walk behind you to clean up after you.  You will have no difficulty remembering that you are the queen of all you survey and treat your house employees like the dirt they are.

You are insufferable.[/quote]
