[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]On the school-age kids costs issue:

I find we still need a sitter for pickup and aftercare (school aftercare hrs don't work for us) during the school year, and then a sitter/nanny for the summer. My oldest is in first grade and I can't cover the whole summer with camps, although I send him for about 7 weeks. Between the camps and the sitter, it's shocking how much it adds up.[/quote]

I'm the PP who is imagining we will have more cash flow when the kids are school age. I only alluded briefly to it in my original post, so to clarify, our kids' grandmother is retiring and moving in w/ us -- hence (in addition to the good schools issue) the need for a larger house w/ an apartment for her.  She is going to be taking care of the kids post school time until I get home at 5:30. So, while we will still need camp and an occasional babysitter, it won't (will it?? yikes) be anywhere near the $62,500/yr we are currently paying for a nanny and PT preschool.[/quote]
