My Husband Is Home Most of the Time. But He Has a Bizarre Take on How We Should Divide Chores.

Pay Dirt is Slate’s money advice column. My logic is that we both live here, we can’t afford those services on one middle-class income plus one part-time job, and I’m doing more than half of the work even though I spend as much time at work as ever. Since it is hard to find child care each summer, I was thinking of hiring my kids’ friends, who are 14 through 16 years old and very responsible for their ages, to do some office work like graphic design and data analytics for my business. They’re old enough to be babysitters themselves.” I’m guessing what you meant was it’s expensive to find summer activities for kids who are just old enough to work at a real job. Many kids today are wise beyond their years and seem to understand how to create beautiful work with online tools I’ve never heard of.
