[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here. I am in non profit. I would definitely talk to the director since any schedule adjustment requires 30 days notice. I could switch both of them to part time, which means pickup at 12:30pm. Surprisingly, it doesn't really save a whole lot, but some. I can't remember how much it would be. That's the only thing I can think of. Switch to part time, suck it up, and dip into savings if necessary.

OP, I am so sorry--this sucks.

I echo the post above; if you have to take one out, I'd take the 3 year old out first. It's much easier to find another option for a 3 year old when you find work again.

But I would think hard about whether your budget and savings mean that you absolutely have to take them out. The psychology of a job search--and your ability to start quickly when hired--will be changed by being SAH, and probably not in a positive way. I think that could be such a big issue that in your shoes, I'd put a couple of months of day care on a credit card if I could swing it.

Good luck looking. [/quote]
