[quote=Anonymous]Agree with everyone that age especially 18 months is exhausting and it does get less demanding when you don't have to watch them like a nonstop and they have fewer nonstop needs. There are probably differences with some of these other families. Do you have any WFH days? Even some hybrid is a lot of saved hours from commuting and the ability to toss in a load of laundry etc instead of it all being saved for the night. On the "life admin" can you do some of it during the workday? A lot of people multitask during some of those long conference calls etc. Re cleaning, agree we have a cleaning person every 2 weeks but apart from actual food mess etc like cleaning up the kitchen daily we just let a lot go. I feel less fazed by various piles that build up from time to time. There's a balance. On all the outsourcing, remember it's a phase so a certain expense or level of spend like instacart groceries doesn't have to go on forever.[/quote]
