[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Sorry but it’s crazy with two helping kids, [b]full time jobs (ie you are out of the house all day) and a maid twice a week, that you are still drowning in chores[/b].  Something feels really off about this!  [/quote]

LOL. If you are out of the house the whole day, working a 9 to 5 job, you really don't have too much time to do all the household chores in a non-stressful way. When you get back from work, you are dealing with dinner and taking care of the kids needs also.  Do you think that working women have self-cleaning homes or that stay at home women mess up the house because they are home?

Running a household takes time.  Raising kids takes time. Going to work 9-5 takes time.  As a sahm, I also outsource and have an involved DH,  and becuase I am home we are able to run our household smoothly, raise the kids to our satisfaction, focus on relationships and our health - without overwhelming stress.  If I was working also life would have been frantic for all of us.

You don't understand that?

OP has a housekeeper twice a week.  So, its just laundry and cooking.  You can have food delivered.  I am a SAHM and outsource nothing.  You are privilaged.  Most of us don't have your or OP lifestyle.[/quote]
