Do you hire older kids as helpers with your young kids? When my kids were 3, 4 and 5, they loved having a 9 or 10 year old come and play. This would often give me an hour of working time while the older child played with my kids.
On the flip side when my own daughter was about 10 she used to "babysit" for a wahm on earned money while playing with the 3 year old. I felt fine as I knew the mom was there. My daughter was not "in charge" but rather the hired playmate. It's a win win for everyone.
