[quote=Anonymous]I have a 7 yr old and 3 yr old. Family we’ve seen this summer has twin 7 year olds and an au pair. My husband and I work at home right how as do the other parents. The other family asked us to pod with them for school and I initially declined - they thought each adult could take a morning one day a week. I didn’t see how to do that with my job and watch my 3 yr old. Last spring we picked a few of the school assignments each week and ignored the rest. They then returned that the au pair was willing to do each morning (2nd grade will only be 4 hours), thought the consistency would be easier, and thought the twins would learn better with one more child there, not just siblings. I offered to pay for any additional hours she worked and a stipend. So I thought we had it all figured out. But then I realized they might not be in the same 2nd grade class (and the assignments can vary), and my husband is still adamantly against being indoors with anyone outside our family - he apparently envisioned that they’d be learning outside. For now he can teach her (or she can skip some assignments) but his job responsibilities are changing. I really hope the pod works out since we’ve even identified a teacher. [/quote]
