[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I would actually look into getting an extra housekeeper.  I found that it was about an extra $300/mo over hiring someone for weekly cleaning, the occasional take-out, and a reduction in my grocery bill.  This was to have someone 20 hours/wk.

I also want to warn you about getting an au pair.  Having made this mistake myself, I can tell you that bringing a teenage girl into a maxed out household with a toddler and infant is a really bad plan.

As far as there being millions of women who work full time with two small children and make a full dinner every single night...I don't think that's really true.  As many MB and nannies on this board can attest to...making a full meal for four while watching an infant and toddler is a difficult task, and not something that most people want to jump right into after coming home from work.  I can't blame you for thinking you want that piece taken care of, so you can just enjoy your kids.
