[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Why do you need to work so much? Both of you should cut back. 60 with travel is a lot.[/quote]
Who’s going to pay for MIL’s care?[/quote]

You, in a different job that is more suitable to your situation. [/quote]

Don't listen to this person. Must be someone who's retired. Jobs aren't growing on trees and her kids will need those resources eventually. MIL's situation is temporary.

It doesn’t change the fact that having both parents have 60+ hrs/wk jobs with three kids is unsustainable for most families.  I worked part-time when my dh had a job like that.  He’s stepped back now and I’ve ramped up to full-time with some travel.  I don’t see how we would have managed otherwise.  [/quote]

It can be sustainable with a great nanny[/quote]

No nanny is this great. Anyone who works this much and thinks their “great” nanny is making up for the lack of parental involvement has low standards for how their kids are raised.
