$3K month is way too much to pay for child care for two kids, imho, esp since you say you have a “flexible schedule” and you have one kid in school all day.[/quote]

BG, Trust me we have looked at all options and have chose the one we have now for a reason. At first, we did the nanny thing and it worked OK for about 2 months. Looked into the au pair thing too, but it’s not as cheap as it seems because you have to pay for her meals, education (to maintain her visa), flights to and from training, etc. In addition, my wife really isn’t keen on the idea of having non related live with us.

Also, btw just having a flex schedule doesn’t mean I can work from home and watch them all day. I’m in my office taking calls and doing work.
