Im worried about this for next year as Ive got a busy year ahead... some of the things Ive considered are getting a babysitter half a morning a week to give bubs some learning and attention whilst I get some things done, or getting a cleaner or both.. I looked into house cleaning costs and decided once a fortnight would give us what we need so its only going to work out at $45 a week and they do everything when they are here including cleaning the microwave and showers!!.. I guess its not always affordable for everyone, but its a thought anyway.. I hope you can work something out..
