Being an executor is no joke. It’s a year or more of so much stuff. You could hire a household manager type (my nanny does this now for a family with an older kid, and did similar for me while kid was in school - I paid her for more hours than kid was with her). She did grocery shopping, laundry, errands, mailing things, buying gifts, and it was just nice to be able to outsource things as they came up. And to not have to manage vendors etc.
Tried it and it wasn’t a good fit but maybe I’ll try again. I paid her on the books and regretted it the taxes and paperwork around that have been its own nightmare.
Wash and fold laundry
No answers just more questions haha : what department do you work in? I’m in creative and have a similar but different situation and not sure how much longer I can juggle everything. Especially when I’m expected to be on meeting that go well into the evening when I’m supposed to be feeding and bathing my baby and doing bedtime.
My kid is 10 so not same challenge but I would say you need to have boundaries around bedtime. No meetings or just tell them to record it for you to review later. I know it’s tough.
A mother’s helper 4-5 hours a day. To run errands, everyday cleaning/ organizing, loading/unloading dishwasher and laundry folding. Game changer
