[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You need to accept hiring help is the cost of the job.  [b]We have a full time nanny (50 hours per week) even though our DCs are now 7 and 10. [/b] We tried going with a part time nanny when they were in school full time but it was a disaster.  [b]Finding the right nanny is key to making everything work.[/b]  We also have a cleaning service every other week and regularly use peapod.  Fortunately, my DH loves to cook so that isn't an issue.  Our nanny does everyone's laundry, car pooling, dinner several times a week and straightens the house every day.

The bonus of a sr. position is that if I need time off to handle school events, dr. appt, etc  I usually have enough control of my schedule to take the time off.  Between DH and I we always attend important events.

Kids are happy and healthy and we have a strong marriage.[/quote]

This is pretty much it.  It's very possible to juggle this type of life if you hire out someone to do all the parenting work for you.  Some women don't mind this, but for the mothers who actually want to be more hands on (which I suspect is most)  A "big job" just does not allow for it.  You have to decide what type of mother you want to be. [/quote]

it's called childcare.  most working women to it; and until recently, most men just assumed their wives would do it.  the "type of mother" OP will be is an amazing mother.  [/quote]
