[quote=Anonymous]I am not comfortable with any of the things you listed, but it's fine if you or other people are. DH and I scaled back our careers and also limited to one child, so that we could do the things we wanted to. Even so, we went to marriage counseling to sort out division of labor and expectations. I recommend it. We are fortunate to have involved grandparents nearby and they can help if we get in a tight spot. They provided a ton of childcare when DC was small. However, when you're thinking about this remember that they will age and may be unable to help when your kid is, say, 10. So at some point you may need a new plan, and also tween/teen can be an awkward age to suddenly insert yourself into their lives.[/quote]
