[quote=Anonymous]My kids are similar ages and we both have demanding corporate jobs (HHI ~ $700K; $300K me/$400K him, both mid-30s). I am WFH w/5-10% travel and he is WOH w/5-10% travel.

Would highly recommend:
-nanny (ours is 45 hrs/week - bare minimum)
-creating weekly meal plan and getting Whole Foods pick up or similar after school drop off 
-we have prepared soup and rotisserie chicken in the dinner meal plan - don’t be afraid to use stuff like this
-every other week cleaning 
-outsource yard work
-Drycleaner’s that pick up/drop off

Other things we do:
-we don’t drink outside of occasions like weddings or events (it is easy to lean on alcohol in any situation and stressful jobs and little kids make drinking a glass or two of wine at night very appealing, but it’s not good for your body and stops you from being present with your family)
-no TV Sunday-Thursday for us and only an hour on Friday and Saturday; kids only watch TV Saturday and Sunday - again, easy to lean on screen time as a crutch like alcohol to facilitate relaxing, but better to just go to bed. Also, east for default parent to use TV to mind children while making dinner or cleaning up but not good for kids [/quote]
