My wife is starting to do some part-time work now that our son is getting a little older and more independent.

 
The way life is going, it's almost like a family needs 3 adults to get everything done between the housework, raising the kids, extra-curricular activities, and paying for everything. Starting to wonder if I can offset some of the costs of an escort by paying with room and board...

 
^ so the moral of the story is to not have kids, and both people in the relationship should have jobs. COPY THAT! :thumbs:

Youndon't know what kind of stuff is going on at your house then.
You do if you have a wireless IP camera system set up. ;)

 
yeah, like the high school kids won't know it's there or how to unplug it.

Also, They've seen enough movies to know you just have to take a picture of the empty room and put it in front of the camera.

 
^ both instances would involve getting to the camera which would be evident in the recorded footage. BUSTED. :)

 
YMZ - is that an increase or decrease? to $21K...
Snick - that's the total per year.

I think they're called "nannies", not escorts. But two-generation nuclear families are a relatively new thing, aren't they? It used to be you'd have lots of siblings and grandparents living nearby, and everyone would take turns caring for the kids. My parents live close by and could care for the kids, but we believe in early childhood education so we're choosing to pay for preschool.

 
^^^ Yeah, the grandparents used to come up to watch my son for a day or two per week back before my daughter was born and Mrs Dex was working at Home Depot part time. Once Mini-Dex #2 was born and Mrs Dex went back to school and then back to work full time, the grandparents weren't able to watch the kids nearly as often. Plus it was nice knowing the kiddos were going through early learning and socialization which has ultimately shaped them into liking school and having little issues with developing friends.

 
Mom quit working when I was born, and went back to work part time after my younger sister started school.

Having dealt with daycares in past jobs, there is no way I could send any potential Ensign Worleys to them.

 
Hope you all have access to flexible spending accounts for child care...getting that taken out before taxes would be way better than the tax credit.

 
We used to have the flex spending accounts, but now that it's dropped so much there isn't much difference between that and the tax credit

 
Yes that was another gem of Obama care.. Raise taxes on thinking Americans who did the FSA accounts by cutting it to $2500... And it never even made the news.... Genius! We scheduled braces for 2 kids this year before we found out about this....

 
I thought he claimed to have lowered taxes for 98% of Americans. Using a FSA must mean you're rich.

WOW I didn't know the limit was reduced that much.

Wow!!! you were really paying $18K for daycare RG?!!!! I know that was for 2, but even $9K for 1 is crazy. We hover right around $5K a year for minisnick depending on vacations and sick days, but that is for ALL Day.


You realize you just bumped a 7 year old thread?


Not just bumped, I bumped it awhile ago :p

In all fairness, they had to pass it to find out what was in it.

All I can say is, I'm glad I don't have kids. You guys pay are paying fatty money for daycare.
True, but I love it. Can't take the money with me when I'm gone, but the kids will be around to lie to future generations about my being a decent mother.
