[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]At my child’s private school, many families keep their nannies until middle school so that they can pick their children up from school at 3:00, drive them to sports/tutoring/ extracurricular activities and then bring them home and prep dinner by the time the parents get home from work. I don’t see what’s wrong with that. [/quote]

It makes sense but these are very wealthy families. [/quote]
I'm friends with a couple who are both Fed attorneys. They have 3 kids and have kept an au pair through middle school. They plan to leave the au pair program once the youngest can drive. They have a gap where all 3 kids will be in 3 different schools for a couple of years, so they need someone to be a driver and do some air traffic control at home. They are not a "wealthy family" in the sense of being wealthier than many of the federal employees posting here. [/quote]

They are wealthy enough to afford 3 kids, and aupair and a house with a separate bedroom for the au pair and since the aupair is driving a 2nd or even 3rd vehicle no? [/quote]

+1 The average salary of federal workers in DC is around $100k, so $200k for a couple. Two GS15 attorneys might be bringing in close to $400k. That's much more than most dual fed families with kids (esp young kids).[/quote]
