[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The real issue here is forcing the question to be about education or cleaning lady!

Why is the question even being posed in this specific way? Why don’t you an your wife talk first about the pros and cons of preschool or the current ymca program. When you get that all clear you can chat about possible ways to afford preschool (if that’s what you guys decide). From there you can discern whether not having cleaning services, or having less cleaning services, is the way forward.

OP, you have some work in regards to effective and enrolling problem solving skills! Luckily you are fully in control of that! Good luck [/quote]

Thank you - I found it odd that there was a binary choice here - either pre-school or cleaning service. Both have value, so why not look at the entire budget? Maybe you cut out something else so that you can do part-time preschool and cleaning service once a month - you are talking about a short period of time - a few years until public school - so why not see what other extras can be dropped to allow for both? Cable, lawn service, vacations, dining out, clothing - all of these are discretionary items that you could consider. [/quote]

I agree! This is an opportunity to discuss many options and scenarios with your spouse and come to a conclusion together. [/quote]
