[quote=Anonymous]I have four young children. The oldest is 5. When my husband deployed, the baby was 6 months. I hired two mother's helpers to help at either end of the day, and I hired a high school girl to act as a mother's helper on the weekend. I asked the mother's helpers to do more housekeeping than child care so that I could free up time to spend with the kids, or I took them with me to be an extra set of hands. They also watched one or more children while I was doing something like nursing or putting someone to bed. This was beyond expensive, but that's what I did. It turned out to be invaluable when (twice) I had to take a child to the hospital, and I had several people I could call who knew the kids and our routines. I don't anticipate needing this much help next time, since the baby will be on the same schedule as everyone else within another year, and the older ones will be more self-sufficient.[/quote]
