[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I would stop at 2 no matter what.  Money isn't the issue for me, it's all the damn kids!!

I also agree it's not about hiring people to help you and this just gets more and more true the older they get.  They want YOU, not a nanny.  And even just two people wanting a lot from me is frankly, emotionally and mentally overwhelming some times.  Another one might have killed me.  And my marriage.[/quote]

But you can hire people to do EVERYTHING ELSE, which frees you up for parenting.  My friend is married to an i-banker.  They have three kids.  They also have a live-in couple where the wife is responsible for grocery shopping, cooking, cleaning, laundry and occasional babysitting.  The husband does handy jobs for the house, takes care of the garden and chauffeurs kids when needed.  My friend is free to focus on the parenting part of the puzzle. She's still very busy but it's infinitely easier.  [/quote]

Who the F wants another couple living in your home???  [/quote]

It's in the attached apartment, with separate everything, and they are truly invisible when they aren't working.  It's a staffed household. I doubt the royals are miffed by live-in staff. [/quote]
