[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Honestly, I think they hire help and don't really even see their kids that much, so they don't think about it being a big deal...[/quote]

That’s not at all what I see. We have three as do lots of our friends. One of ours has special needs. We had daycare and sometimes we had a cleaner, but not usually. Most of the people we know had a similar level of help. We spend lots of time with our kids and we had them because we love kids. I never thought it was that hard. [/quote]

What do you consider lots of time?  How much 1-1 time does each child get a day, week with each parent?[/quote]

DP. How much one on one time does your child get? Answer that first before PP does.

It is ridiculous that some of you think that you spend so much more time with your 2 vs. parents with 3. I would argue that many with 2 actually spend less time with their kids if the kids are closer in age. [/quote]

My kids get non-stop attention as I am a SAHM and my husband works from home and shares an office with the kids and is very hands on.  Since we aren't socializing with others, they are our full attention.  We have never had a babysitter or nanny (though I am not against them but never had the need) nor a lot of family help (we do have friends/neighbors who will help in an emergency).  [/quote]

No offense but I think this thread was geared for those with demanding jobs. It would be simple to spend time w your kids if there was a SAHP involved?[/quote]

My spouse has a very demanding job as did I but I stopped as I knew it was impossible to do without hiring a nanny.[/quote]
