[quote=Anonymous]Daycare/nanny, late bedtimes, and constant exhaustion are just part of two-income families. As much as I wish it were not the case, we’ve learned that there’s a limited number of hours in the day, and if we’re going to meet the frankly realistic demands of our jobs (they’re paying us to complete tasks for the office, not for our personal lives) then we had to outsource or just not perform a lot of the tasks that would get done if we had one of us staying at home with the kids. So that means that non-urgent repairs go unfinished for years at a time, and our children are in paid childcare until 6pm every night. We also often work late after the kids go to bed. It’s not great, but like it or not, that’s the cost of having two working parents.[/quote]
