[quote=Anonymous]I’m glad the last few pages have gotten some supportive posts and some actual advice! First part of this thread was bonkers.

OP I am not really in your situation given that I have two kids, they’re older, and I work from home mostly but I will say my biggest point of stress in raising kids has been things like meal prep and just making sure the family has healthy meals. I just feel like that’s at the root of so much of our day to day functioning: if you’re not eating healthy, everything just falls apart.

If you feel that way too, then I would just work with DH now on how you can ensure that happens. Maybe it means you cooking some on weekends to prep ahead for the week and maybe he takes responsibility for a couple days during the week. Then relying on leftovers and things like healthier takeout or even like smoothie and breakfast night to flex out the rest.

Doesn’t have to be gourmet to hard to prep meals. There are a ton of healthy meal options that can be quick, but organizing those and getting him on board with that at least for me would undo a lot of the stress.

Given you are taking a big job, I’m sure you can afford to outsource some things like others have mentioned. we love outsourcing lawn stuff and house cleaners. It just helps us feel like we’re keeping up on everything. We also do grocery delivery sometimes which is really nice.

Otherwise, I feel like if the house is cluttered, or if laundry is in piles… I can still function and we’ll be OK, but having those sort of big things like healthy meals, basic house cleaning, and lawn care off the list is huge. [/quote]
