[quote=Anonymous]We outsource help and it saved my sanity. I hired an amazing au pair. She gets the kids ready for school in the morning while I work out. She picks up the youngest (age 8) from school in the afternoon and ensures her homework is done. The older kid (11) walks home from school. She drives younger kid to music lessons once a week and Mathnasium 2 times a week. My husband and I split driving the older kid to sport practice twice a week. Other sports are on the weekends which we take care of. Au pair makes dinner for the kids during the week day. My husband and au cook for ourselves because we all eat different food. We have family meals on the weekends when she doesn’t work.

The 11 year old plays with the neighbors after school and has downtime for video games after homework is done. The au pair bakes and does art projects with the 8 year old after school. I get my quality time with the kids before bed and on weekends.

It works well for us and I feel less crazy and actually enjoy parenting.
