Childcare can be a lifesaver, too, even if you stay in the house. A "mother's helper" can come over and play with your son, and even be pretty young (and therefore cheaper). But that might give you a little peace.
You ARE entitled to that! You really are!
Or work out trades with a friend who is also feeling harried. About that age, most people around here expect playdates to be without parents present. That's free, and might help you both ways, since you either have the house to yourself or you have a playmate for your son at your house. It works great for us!
