[quote=Anonymous]OP your expenses don’t seem to justify requiring a $750k salary. But you are not the problem, your DH is. To solve it, either he needs to take a more flexible, or you quit and SAH (another one bites the dust). To answer your question - my kids got a minimum of 7 hours with a parent when they were little. I took the 7-11am shift and DH took the 5-8pm shift. I would be home by 6 anyway, so we could tag team with the kids and dinner etc. We paid our nanny for 40 hours a week, though she only worked 30, with the understanding that she would spend most of naptime everyday helping us with family laundry and dinner prep. It worked out well for us. We didn’t get stressed out in the evenings and weekends.[/quote]
