[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think OP has it right...every other day someone is in DCUM crying about being overwhelmed by children and/or household duties. Either that, or how DH doesn't help enough and how much of a strain it puts on your relationship. I am not an SAHM but if I could be in OP's shoes, I would have help for organizing, laundry, errands (grocery stores, dry cleaners)...in turn, I would spend more time with our kids doing art and really building up our veggie garden. It would mean more creativity and better health. Occasionally, the help could watch one child while another gets individual attention (really an issue in our house now that we are working on reading with #1,who gets interrupted by a toddler and an infant). Moreover, I could nurture my marriage better and actually have a date night! I am sorry, but OP got it right with this one. [/quote]

exactly. sounds great to me. I have a great friend who lives in hong kong with three kids and a live in nanny/housekeeper. She loves the woman and provides her with a good job. She gets to pursue some hobbies, volunteer work, a second master's degree, and spend individual time with her kids not stressed out by cooking/cleaning/schleping/etc she got the nanny because she found it difficult to be alone all day in a foreign country (husband is attorney with long hours) with kids trying to navigagte everything. I am a WOHM with two kids and pregnant with #3 struggling to keep it all together. I know we are both good mothers doing the best our can in our situation.  I know she is a great mom and when we lived together prior to each of us getting married I saw firsthand how hard she works. No doubt that continues.  [/quote]
