Has anyone used the dependent daycare spending account? I see that relatives who are not your dependents and take care of your child are an eligible expense. How does this work in terms of submission and proof of payment to a caregiver?

I use it to cover our au pair expenses. I've never used it for a family member (e.g. Grammy) watching them even though we paid her when she watched them. I believe you just have to fill out a substantiation form online and include a receipt. You can probably just type up an invoice with their name and note how payment was made (check, cash). Just remember that it puts them as higher risk for not paying taxes assuming they don't report the income.

Pretty sure you have to report their SS#, so the only real savings is the difference between your tax bracket and theirs. Even less if you're expected to withhold FICA.

Need advice. Am in the middle of parental leave right now and my spouse and I are on the brink of divorce. Have only this 1 kid. Spouse doesn’t work yet, but can with earning potential around $50k. I make around $450k. No way I’d keep this job if divorce happens. I’d eventually transition in house so I can take care of my kid when I have him, but that won’t be immediate. How will custody work in that case? I want joint, but how do I take care of him alone with this job in the meantime?

What is a useful, comprehensive but not too long of a book for parenting toddlers?

LO is 16 months old, very sweet and social, at the park every day with other kids with either me or her nanny. Not in day care. Yesterday we had a play date and she slapped another baby on the head. Not hard and did not scare her, but the act of “aggression” took me by surprise and I felt terrible about it. I’d like to be more proactive about toddler psychology, what’s to come and how to react/ teach. TY!

If we don't have any club, then we should create one. I can volunteer in preparing one.
Its good to see that Deloitte focuses a lot on Well-being. So, we can write to higher authorities to have a club!!
