Dads, are your toddlers going to Daycare? We are in Palatine and thinking of sending our son ( 2 years 6 months ) to Daycare. Part-time nanny is just not working out. Any suggestions? Thank you.

Nope. We have an au pair who would normally be doing morning helper, afternoon x3 kids, baby 3 full days/so. Since COVID, she’s had 2-3 full-time.

Mine has been back since mid-June. I live in Canada.

@EY: we have a full time nanny 45 hours and some weeks we ask her for extra hours it’s lot of relief; we had part time nanny never worked out; alternatively you can get house help for 8 to 9 hours daily where it relives you and your wife and you can spend sometime with kids. In my opinion, daycare is too risky for kids; I do not care what promises they make. At end of day too many kids are there and no social distancing rules followed.

Thanks for the input D1

We sent our 2 year old to daycare up until we had our second kid last week. We plan to send him back to daycare once my wife has to go back to work as well. I will add my wife has a heavily subsidized daycare through her work so that played into the $ discussion.

I will add ours was part of a hospital as well. But yes, everyone has access to data and will make their own determinations from there based on safety, development, social interactions, etc. Daycare worked very well for us.

We do homecare, so a much more limited number of children and we know the families. No issues so far.

Back in daycare here, Boston

How many married professionals with young families are just sticking it out “for the kids”? Marriage is very dead and has been for a while. Young kids 4 and 1. My wife and I don’t fight, but share 0 interests outside of the kids and can’t stand to be around each other. I’m so ready to leave… I just can’t bear the thought of doing it to my children even though another part of me feels like wife and I would both be better parents if our lives were separate. Anyone else done a similar analysis?

I work in Florida where the Parental Rights law concerning gender theory and sexuality in k-3 is currently being labeled the "Don't Say Gay Bill".

I agree that we should leave those choices up to the parents. Do you guys have similar things happening where you're at?

So I have been seeing a guy for 4 months. We have a pay disparity.. he earns less than I do (by quite a bit). He has mentioned a few times that he’s worried I’ll get bored of him when I know he can’t afford the same things I can. I think we are beginning to move past this, but now he’s starting to mention things like ‘I am really broke this month’, and last weekend he told me his mum has lost her job and he’ll have to probably pay her rent. I have a lot of sympathy for his situation … tbc

Okay finance gurus, I have an idea and interested in your thoughts. Might be a bad one so be gentle 🙂. I have a 2 yr old and another on the way. Need to start planning for college. I was thinking of buying a condo or 2 in lieu of saving and selling them down the line for tuition. Condos downtown are pretty inexpensive (T3) so it’s financially feasible. But is this a good idea or too risky?
