[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Shares, in my experience, are far more trouble than they are worth and don't give the baby the same attention or focus.  I was in the same financial situation with my second and we cut corners on everything to give our second the same one-on-one attention our first had with a very good nanny.  We gave up DirectV, eating out and all take out, cut way back on clothes, toys and gifts, became coupon-clippers and second-hand buyers of tricycles, wagon, booster seats, etc and stopped flying to visit my in-laws (a gift to me as well).  We found the money.  [/quote]

OP here.  Yes, I tend to agree w/ you and others saying shares might not be that great either.  To the other PP saying that we should just find a cheaper nanny.  We are very happy w/ our current nanny.  It's just getting to be quite a financial stretch, particularly if both kids end up going to some type of part time preschool and paying for a FT nanny.

We may be able to get both kids into my daycare at work (which is very highly regarded) but we just visited and it didn't seem to great for our infant.  Not as concerned about the older child as she's doing great at preschool and the older kids' program offers a great preschool.  It's just due to the availability/timing we may have to send the younger one to the daycare before we would prefer to do so.

We may be able to cut back more and manage to afford the nanny for a few more years, but by the time we need to cut back we might not be able to get both kids into the same daycare.  Hence our dilemma.[/quote]
