[quote=Anonymous]Before my son started preschool last fall, we had a nanny come in three mornings a week, 15 hours total. It was a lifesaver. I did errands, medical appointments, things that needed to get done during that time. She build a relationship with my son and once a month would watch him on a weeknight so we could go out. It wasn't cheap but seriously the best money we ever spent...she was amazing. Along with that, I'd recommend getting cleaners. Every other week is usually not too expensive. Then you only have to think about keeping tidy in between visits. What I've found is that raising a toddler isn't a contest. If my H and I were comparing time spent with the kid all the time, that would I think drive us apart rather than together. There's no score to keep and that's kind of what it sounds like here. When we need time we talk about it and figure things out.[/quote]
