[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I would suggest getting an au pair, kids can be picked up by her for their after school activities and she can do the daily tidying up of kitchen etc. and laundry probably. Do a lot of take aways, or also ask the au pair to cook for an additional allowance perhaps. Plus keep the weekly cleaning lady.

I have a baby and a 3 year old, have a weekly cleaning lady, have home food delivery service (already cooked) and a couple babysitters available (university students) for emergency situations. Lower HHI than yours and also a huge mortgage, but we see our home as our investment. [/quote]

[b]Which home food delivery service do you use?  It sounds like this would help a lot.[/quote][/b]

I'm not PP, but I'm part of a 2 parent WOH situation, and we use Galley ([url]https://www.galleyfoods.com/menus/dc [/url]) at least once a week. Meals are cooked and more or less ready to go - you can microwave or heat in the oven. They also do Sunday evening dinners now, as well as kid's lunches (although you can only order kid's lunches with dinners). They give you a 30 minute delivery window & you don't have to be home to get it - they will drop it off. We live in NE DC. There is usually a vegetarian and a meat option, and you can order dinners family style or individually. You can also order wine with dinner (we never have). It's not the cheapest scenario, but it is sooo fast and easy. [/quote]
