[quote=Anonymous]For us -  a combo of having a group of parents with similar parenting philosophy in our circle,  outsourcing many chores, flex work, no private school cost, only 2 kids, living in a relatively inexpensive neighborhood.

- Only 2 kids. No pets. 
- Cleaner twice a week.  Cleaning - day 1. Laundry, food prep, decluttering and organizing, deep cleaning - day 2.   $25/hr. $700 a month.  Once in 2 week -   cook for some meals and party cooking - $25/hr * 6 hr. $300 a month. 
- Public magnets for kids.  Drive them to school and back because bus-drive takes an hour each way.  Carpooling and flex work
- Kids did a lot of activities. Arranged for some group activities at our home. Had a bunch of other parents and children and pooled resources together.  Coaches and tutors came home in the evening or on weekends for kids. Parents took turns for travel, coaching and transportation of team.

Our kids are also very finicky for meals but we have a handle on it due to food prep and the biweekly cook. DH and I also cook a lot.
