[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]As a 33 year old with 2 kids and an income of $435 I would say no if you are planning to have a nanny and are going to be shelling out for an expensive preschool. The nanny, the classes, the childbirth costs (just hope your wife doesn't have complications and has generous mat leave), the preschool tuition... Save your $$[/quote]

Why would you have a nanny AND preschool? Daycare/preschool centers fulfill both roles.[/quote]

Preschool is not daycare - it’s 4 days a week from 8:30-11:30. I have a 6 month old at home and a 2 year old in preschool. Who is going to take care of my 6 month old while my 2 year old is in preschool? Who is going to pick my 2 year old up at 11:30 and make her lunch and do activities with her and my 6 month old in the afternoon? Who will take care of my 2 year old when she gets sick in the middle of the week and can’t go to preschool? Oh right, the nanny. Not the same. My husband and I work full-time and are schedules are demanding, so having a nanny from 8:30-5:30 helps a lot. It’s a luxury, but it’s a luxury I’d take over a Range Rover. It’s really about priorities. I don’t like being stressed out and it’s important to me that my kids get a lot of attention, especially when young. What’s not important to me is driving a status symbol car. Trying to impress upon OP that you don’t want to tether yourself to an expensive car and shut down options for yourself later. [/quote]
