Ditto. I guess I’m like your DH. I would not want to do solo parenting for two kids very frequently. If we didn’t have family around I would hire a mother’s helper for sure. The more the merrier when dealing with toddlers and babies.

Thankfully we had my mom and dad with us for the first year of both babies. DH encouraged me to also outsource chores and I resisted for a long time because I was a SAHM. He was the one who explained to me that he made a good amount of money and my job was to hire whatever domestic help that was required to make our lives easier. I stopped being a martyr because being a martyr is a self defeating mindset which women needlessly embrace..

Any problem that can be solved by money is not a problem but just an expense.

Your DH does not love you or the kids less. He wants what is best for all of you. He is willing to make a financial sacrifice for it. Applaud him because he is doing this for the family. He is asking you to put the ad because he acknowledgea that you are the SME.

Lol, wtf

DP-What is hard to understand abt this? Some ppl don’t want to do menial sh*t and are have the money to outsource it. You must be poor.

Laughing at the idea that it’s her “job” - reminds me of those who list their job as CEO, Smith Family Inc.
