[quote=Anonymous]Now that the children are old enough for before & after-care, my husband & I were debating whether we still needed an au pair and whether having a portion of our house back, and $5-7K back, would offset the inconvenience of drop off & pick up. Then our au pair took her two weeks vacation and there is no debate to be had! The child are so cranky and difficult when passing back & forth between back-up babysitters (school & thus aftercare is closed 1/3 of the year!). We can't get dinner on the table before 7pm when we pick up from daycare at 6. Getting ourselves ready in the morning, getting two kids ready, dropping them off, then commuting in traffic. . . . It's possible, we've done it before, most families do it, but my goodness, I am glad my au pair is coming back next week!!! It's so worth the little annoyances. [/quote]
