Been chatting with my wife about an issue I want to solve, but am a bit stumped -- so thought I would ask the question here, and maybe get some ideas:
We both work full-time, and have two young kids at home.
Our nanny leaves at 5pm, and then I get home a bit after that. We play with the kids for about an hour (while my wife makes them dinner), have dinner, and then we each give one of them a bath, and help put them to bed.
By then it's around 7pm, we're both completely exhausted. We would like nothing more than to enjoy some downtime the rest of the night after a long day, but the work is just beginning.
The kitchen and dining areas are now a mess from dinner, the dishes need to be done, and food needs to be prepared for the kids for the next day.
By the time all of it is done, it's after 9pm, we are beyond exhausted, and the day is essentially over.
We have a cleaner that comes to the house twice a week, but of course wraps up well before 6pm.
What do other people do to solve this issue?
How do you win back your free time after the kids go do bed, without leaving a mess overnight and ensuring they have food ready for the next day?

@realEstateTrent A lot of that municipal ease is in the secondary and tertiary markets around RDU. They are pushing so much growth in the cities.

Flew into Raleigh-Durham today and saw homes being built all over the place.
Municipalities:
Want to avoid a declining population?
Make housing easy to build.
The cities who do this are winning.
It’s not rocket science.

Be the sucker - that is the hack!
Many people are always ensuring nobody's taking advantage of them, in all parts of life, all the time.
They're always on the lookout to make sure they're not the sucker -- and it's their biggest obstacle to success.
They won't spend time giving advice to someone if they don't think it'll ever help them.
They won't take the lower salary job in the short term, even if it means they'll learn more.
They won't ever offer to grab the check.
In business, they'll ask for more and risk losing the sale, even if the offer on the table is their highest, and more than they'd hoped for.
When they're the buyer, they will offer less and risk losing a great deal just because they think the seller will take a little less.
They won't make a referral of any kind without asking for a cut.
They keep score, they track who they did favors for, and they ask their friends for discounts because they think they can get them.
They suffer from a scarcity mindset -- and it's so engrained in their thinking that it's almost impossible to unwind.
Understanding abundance mindset -- that the pie is huge and growing, is a gift.
I saw it all over the place in Silicon Valley.
So much wealth has been created by so many people so quickly, that helping just to help is rampant.
Ironically, it pays off incredibly.
A couple of examples from my career:
At 22, I went into an office every morning, wearing a tie and earning no money for almost a full year.
Sucker, right?
But I was learning from one of the best investment sales brokers in the market, sitting in on meetings and calls I had no business being part of.
I was gaining knowledge that would've been impossible for me to gain if I had the "wait a minute, I am taking his sign calls and cold-calling for him" mentality.
Many would ask, and do ask, "where the heck is this leading, where is this taking me -- my friends are on a salary!"
But those days were the backbone of my career. I was in rooms I had no business being in, and spending time in the living rooms of silicon valley millionaires I had no business being around -- but I was willing to be the sucker.
This account is another example -- it has changed my life completely. It's allowed me to take my business to a level I never dreamed of.
How did it happen, looking back?
Well, I was posting just to post. I was sharing my knowledge just to share my knowledge, with zero agenda.
I was anonymous and planned to stay that way. In my mind there was absolutely nothing in it for me to continue spending all that time posting, answering DMs, and taking calls.
I didn't connect the fact the audience growth would end up helping us find more deals and creating a national brand within the retail world.
I just kept posting and posting -- I was the sucker.
When we had our first gala, I came probably $15k out of pocket to put the event together.
I thought it would be fun to meet some of the folks in this community and buy everyone drinks at SOHO House in NYC -- that was it.
The gala has not turned into an amazing platform for the brand, attracting national media, incredible sponsors, and some of the best real estate operators in the country. If somebody would have told me I would eventually share the stage with Jeff Blau I would have laughed at them - that would have been an impossible plan.
And in fact, I didn't. It just happened. All of it.
Because I'm often fine being the sucker.
And the best advice I can give people is to try to do the same.
