[quote=Anonymous]2 kids under 4 (3 and 9 months) and 2 dogs. We have a FT nanny (8-6 pm), 3 year old is in preschool from 8:30-11:30 am, and a cleaning person every other week. We both work a lot and are really clean and pretty organized. We may have a third in the next year, but 2 is really hard if you and your spouse have demanding jobs and no family help. Our HHI is near $600K and childcare eats up a lot of it. We rarely do date nights (once every 3-6 months), because it feels indulgent on top of having a nanny. That’s what I think would be nice about having family close by- the ability to hand off the kids for a few hours here and there. Not FT childcare, just getting a breather once or twice a month.
