[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’m a female attorney working a full time and fairly demanding in-house job (I.e. not just 9-5). DH has a demanding full time job too. We have 2 kids and [b]family around to help as needed[/b]. It’s hard but I wouldn’t have it any other way. I love having 2 kids and I know that they will grow up and things will get easier and to me the hard work is worth it. If you are questioning whether 2 kids is worth it, it may not be. You have to really want it.[/quote] Bolded is the key statement here. If you have reliable, family members to help out whenever, that's HUGE step up for any family where both parents work FT. To achieve that type of support with just $$$ to throw at it you would need daycare + a FT nanny (you can't get a good, consistent PT nanny to just fill in non-daycare hours because they will either be looking for something FT or have another job/responsibilities that you will need to compete with).[/quote]
