We were much the same,good income with two wages,had kids within 21 mths of each other,mum stayed home,coped sort of,looking back though tough as.Had a friend and she went to work shortly after boy was born,mind you she had a daughter at 17 so this boy was born when she was 29 or so,both her kids are fine,still can't see why parents can't spend time with the kids,we planned to have her work parttime hours whilst kids at school,or after I was home from work.Can remember one time youngest was at kindy,took older one to school and then off to kindy,had good time and enjoyed doing it,mother was on a parents centre course/pissup/conferance at time.Best thing you can spend with kids is TIME,sadly seems lacking in this case,wonder if the kids play sport,hard when you work rostered sat mornings,but can be done,hell I'd go to netball,then play soccer in arvo,kids would come down after the match,to easy with nothing electronic to keep em amused.
