[quote=Anonymous]I, too, would stick with "We considered many options and this is what works best for our family." For most people, that’s sufficient.

DH's brother had an au pair for his twin girls b/c with two it was less expensive than a center. So we got a lot of questions from DH's extended family as to why we didn't go that route. My response, was au pairs can only work 40 hrs a week and BIL and SIL had to adjust their schedules to accommodate that. DH and I wouldn't be able to do the same. Once they heard that, I never got that question again. For some people, it's best to give a real answer to end the questioning. With DH's family, if I only said that's what works best for us, they would keep badgering us.

For the other types – there’s a lot of variability in in-home care and we didn’t see one we liked. For a nanny, there’s a lot of vetting and trust needed. We just didn’t feel comfortable. We’re very happy with our center, the ladies there are really nice, and DS is happy when we drop off & pick-up. So we feel we made a good choice.[/quote]
