[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]i want a third spouse too so we could have a SAH :([/quote]

That's what I have a housekeeper for. Haven't used my washer and dryer in years , I don't go to the grocery store, my closets are all organized, my meals are all prepped, lunches all packed, most all my errands are run, and I come home to a clean house with beds made each day. I don't go to costco, yet the food from Costco appears at my home.

For dinner I remove the mostly prepped food and do the finishing touches on a home cooked meal each night with minimal effort. Last night after dinner we all took a bike ride as a family. We probably had a good 3hrs to burn before bed.

The cost of paying someone to do that vs having someone out of the workforce is well worth it. Not even a comparison,  plus nobody is resentful about their role in the house. DH and I just enjoy each other and enjoy the kids. It's a good life we have.[/quote]

It's great that you can afford that, but for many couples the cost of a daily housekeeper on top of full-time childcare would more than obliterate one person's salary. Yes, I appreciate he long-term value of staying in the workforce even if you're not seeing the financial value in the short-run, but most people aren't going to be comfortable drawing from their savings to pay for all of those services instead of doing them themselves.[/quote]
