[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Ha I posted a different vent recently about 3 kids and all their activities. I’m a SAHM and have a part time sitter. DH actually suggested I get full time help. I don’t need full time help. It is still a shit show getting kid(s) to sports in the middle of rush hour. I think the worst part is that we live in a highly congested traffic area. If everything were 5 minutes away, it would be fine. We have to drive 2-3 miles and it often takes 30+ minutes smack in the middle of dinner time.

Now my kids have camps and my toddler naps when they need to get picked up. I’m sure my toddler will survive getting her nap cut short.

I don’t mean to come off like I’m complaining. I also complain about traffic, heat, etc. I’m not trying to one up anyone about the number of kids and activities. I’m sure I would complain if I had one kid and had to drive in rush hour to sports too.[/quote]

Full time help and being a SAHM?! Smh.[/quote]

She has 3 kids... you cannot expect her to do it alone.  She probably also has a housekeeper and yard service. Between mom, dad, and nanny you'd think they could figure it out.  And, she probably has poor toddler in no activities so how hard can it be.[/quote]

Don’t be bitter ladies. [b]You should have chosen husbands who make more money.[/b][/quote]

We have plenty of money, I just don’t understand how a SAHM could possibly need full time help....unless the Mom is completely helpless. Maybe the husbands should have chosen more capable wives?[/quote]

Pp here. For the record, I declined full time help. I do know SAHMs who have full time help. It isn’t like you hand off all the kids full time. You leave baby home so you can go to older kid’s school, take middle kid to dance without lugging other 2. Sure, you can have a little break to work out or get your nails done but it isn’t like you go hang out by yourself all day.

I do have a pt sitter and pt housekeeper. I still get my kids going in the morning, take my youngest to her activities when big kids are at school and then take older kids to activities after school and weekends. I usually work out twice a week, run an errand and either get a mani pedi or massage once per week so half sitter hours are for me and other half is so I can take other kids out without dragging youngest.

DH suggested I get help everyday vs the 2 I have now. I declined.[/quote]
