[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think OP has it right...every other day someone is in DCUM crying about being overwhelmed by children and/or household duties. Either that, or how DH doesn't help enough and how much of a strain it puts on your relationship. I am not an SAHM but if I could be in OP's shoes, I would have help for organizing, laundry, errands (grocery stores, dry cleaners)...in turn, I would spend more time with our kids doing art and really building up our veggie garden. It would mean more creativity and better health. Occasionally, the help could watch one child while another gets individual attention (really an issue in our house now that we are working on reading with #1,who gets interrupted by a toddler and an infant). Moreover, I could nurture my marriage better and actually have a date night! I am sorry, but OP got it right with this one. [/quote] I agree. There is always more I could do or would like to do. I am never ever bored. It would be nice to have a trusted nanny, housekeeper, gardener, laundress, ... you name it. It does not mean that your kids see nothing of you, that depends on the particular mom, and the arrangement. I could see that it would be easier then to spend individual time with one child for example, without having to drag the baby around in the car with you, etc. [/quote]
