[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I will say though, I work FT and have a PT house keeper that comes 20hrs a week and we don't have these fights in our house. Well worth the 380/wk spent. [/quote]

20K a year for a PT housekeeper?
Ah, that's how the other half lives :))

I suppose. I paid more in daycare, so I just took those costs when my kids were out of daycare and diverted them to a housekeeper. We have more cash flow than when they were little. daycare ran us near double that.

I think if I SAH and had to clean up after the entire family like the OP, I'd be miserable. talk about being unappreciated![/quote]

Or you could be like me, and WOH FT and still spend evenings cleaning up after the entire family.  Talk about rage waiting to explode.[/quote]

It's not unreasonable to expect your DH to help out a bit after work, but you shouldn't look at him as the "relief shift." As a SAHM, it really should mostly fall onto you to get things cleaned-up around the house and deal with the kids. If that last sentence seems strange or unfair to you, then you probably should not agree to be a SAHM, because that's the way that your DH is going to see it, and it's going to be very hard to convince him otherwise.[/quote]

Not the relief shift if she's doing other work at the same time. They're working together so they can both have down time before bed. She's not just hanging out painting her nails...[/quote]
