-au pair
-therapy and massages for myself 
-cleaners 
-weekend nanny
-Amazon prime
-food delivery whenever I want or need[/quote]

This. We can afford some of that but it's still hard without any family help. And, yes, I have a DH but he travels a lot (he'll be gone 5 out of the next 8 weeks) and we both work.

Does he contribute income?

When people talk about their DH as not being a source of support, I always wonder if they're just so privileged that they don't realize the enormous burden of being the sole financial provider for kids.

If someone is either taking on that burden for your kids, or sharing that burden so you don't have it, then they are doing something that's much more important than a grandparent babysitting once in a while.[/quote]

Yes, so what? We both contribute money. And yes, there are people worse off than we are. That doesn't mean my position is not valid. We are not rich. It would be helpful to not HAVE to pay out the nose for child care, and all of the other things that go with maintaining a home and child, once in awhile.

BTW, I didn't say DH wasn't any support. But, he's about to leave for 3 weeks straight. I'll be underwater for 3 weeks balancing it all. It's still hard and the fact that others have it worse doesn't change that.[/quote]
