[quote=Anonymous][quote=sarah1513][quote=Anonymous]I am a landlord and I rent/deal with my own landlord and I have twins.

NO! Don't tell and don't try to illicit pity. It is a huge financial cost but every landlord I have dealt with (mostly in Boston) have been horrible horrible money grubbing people. Having kids is a private matter.

Now, I do suggest you check for lead paint because lead poisoning sucks and it is harder to corral 2. [/quote]

Thank you for the specific advice based on your experience. If we have the no lead paint confirmation in our lease do you feel like that covers that issue? [/quote]

I had the town house we own professionally tested when the twins were babies. If you have an older apartment I would get some test strips for piece of mind. We are renting new construction in our new city.

I want to second an au pair btw but am also hesitant. It takes a very special person to care for twins because you are pulled in two different directions. I stayed home for almost two years working on my dissertation and publishing so I don't have a real gap in my resume. That said we probably saved 50k a year on childcare. I am sort of not exaggerating. We found an affordable Montessori placement for 3800K a month for both. It was 4k a month during the summer
 That said it went up to 4500k a month for a high quality placement when we moved. If you can afford it then great. If not you will need to think about finances. Having twins really changed our lifestyle financially. A singleton would have been amazing financially. [/quote]
