OP - You and  your husband sound like a well-grounded couple who have made the best decision for your family in the short and long term.  This is a perfect example thts folks on DCUM need to think about in terms of the crushing loan debts for college for young couples and just how burdensome they are.   It sounds like you are handling things as well as you can, but if there was a way for you DH to bring your daughter into town to see you during a break in your work day on the weekend that might be something to aim for especially in the good weather when even just to put down a blanket and roll a ball round with her on any patch of grass while you downed a sandwich would be good for her. I would also suggest that your daughter's sleep schedule might be moved around a bit so that she could get up earlier one or two days a week to have some Mom time and then just take a bit earlier or maybe two naps.  If you really miss her, then at least be willing to try it or to let her have a later afternoon nap so she is up with you in the evening.

I also assume that your DH or possibly with the Nanny doing something, too, is carrying the bulk of the household duties so that your are not exhausted by having to sandwich in food shopping or laundry.  For this year ahead, he should be Mr. Household task.  The suggestions on how together the two of you can make some tasks just move along like getting dishes washed and laundry done does make sense.  If cooking relaxes you, then do it as you can as your daughter will sleep some on the day you are off.   You two obviously have worked hard to get your education and you will feel so much freer when those loans are gone.  Stick to your plan.[/quote]
