[quote=Anonymous]In this area, between demanding jobs and traffic I think a lot of people are in your same situation. We lucked out with an amazing nanny who watches our son 10 hours/day M-Th but I was also able (and very lucky) to change my work schedule to have every Friday off. It was a 20% paycut for me, but worth it for our family. My husband and I alternate pick-ups every day so we still both work more than 8 hours/day (which sadly is so typical around here...) but we make it work. If I had to go back to work on Fridays we'd probably have to find another nanny to help split the time, 50+ hours a week I think anyone would get burned out... I also travel for work (though not weekly...), but my MIL drives 4 hours to stay and help my husband when I have to go out of town. How about an au pair that lives with you? I don't have any experience or know of anyone who does, but may be something to look into?[/quote]
