[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I would find this to be a complete waste of money and, frankly, absurd.  Our HHI is well beyond the OP’s, as us that if many of our friends with kids, and nobody (literally nobody) hires this type of care when having a second (or third or fourth) child.  Some had parents come (though that was rare and largely because the parents wanted to).  And even the most helpful parents were there as a second pair of hands, or when both spouses were at work. Never using Parents as an overnight baby nurse.

OP, I do not doubt that you may have wider issues, whether marital or possibly psychological Given your inflated sense of the additional care needed for your second child. I am very sorry for that. This solution, though, strikes me as not addressing these fundamentals. I wish you well, but I don’t think this is the answer.[/quote]

OP, also remember we are in DC, where everyone loves to be a martyr and truly thinks they are morally and intellectually superior to anyone who can't do live exactly as they do. If you were living in NYC, no one would bat an eye at you hiring this kind of help. Do not let these internet strangers convince you that you have psychological problems because you're not relishing the idea of getting up all night plus dealing with a baby and a toddler all day. This is why moms of an infant and a toddler look like trash so often. It isn't easy![/quote]
