[quote=Anonymous]I mean, assuming your child care is at your school (which may not be the case) it’s not really something you are likely to bargain shop for with any success. If you are doing very expensive specialty/ sleep away camps, consider cutting back there slightly if you want.

But childcare costs money and is not really optional so perhaps ask him how he would like to save money? Is his plan that you will somehow watch the children and also work full time? Definitely don’t agree to that, it’s not fair to your kids or you.

I am also curious if he finds any of this childcare himself or has any idea how much child care costs. If he has specific concerns like. “ can we keep Larla in her regular day camp all summer instead of 4 weeks at equestrian camp which costs 3x as much” that’s a valid, informed opinion and you can have a conversation. If it’s just a complaint about something you are handling, I would ask him what alternative child care solutions he has in mind and refuse to discuss until he has something useful to say. [/quote]
