[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP  - not sure if anyone mentioned it, but with three kids and two full time jobs, you need to cut back on your kids' afterschool activities.  If I were you, I'd spend some time thinking about where the hours in the day are going and if you can capture any of those back. For example, if you had a nanny, then you wouldn't have to deal with getting the kids ready for daycare in the morning and the travel time to/from daycare. Don't have any afterschool activities during the week unless you have the nanny taking them. Increase your cleaning service to once per week. Order grocery delivery or pick up.  Try to get things on a schedule and routinized as much as possible.

I don't resent my husband's long hours because I used to be in big law and I know that you just don't have a choice.  Long hours comes with the territory. You and your DH are a team--you are both contributing to the success of your family - you through your job and doing most of the childcare/household stuff and him through his higher paying job.  I assume he doesn't resent you for working fewer hours and making less money right?[/quote]

Don't punish the kids by cutting back activities.  Get a nanny.[/quote]
