What is everyone doing for childcare? I have a 1 & 3 y/o and husband travels a lot for work. Currently have a F/T nanny and older kid goes to school P/T. What happens when both start going to school?

I kept our nanny even with kids in preschool, kindergarten. She has additional responsibilities now for the pets, errands, laundry, etc. I don't have any plans to change this. It's an investment in my sanity. I don't have any desire to try and find part time help for morning's and afternoons and assume every one is doing what they should and kids are where they need to be. I come home to an organized, clean house, with relieved dogs and fed kids. It's a life saver.

What about the summer,school holidays and sick days? Where does one find P/T nannies in NYC?

I have my 1yo and 2.5yo in daycare 9-6. It runs all year round and offers “camps” during the holiday weeks. It costs as much as community college, but it’s still more affordable than a private or even shared nanny in ATL. I am counting the days until public school.

My kid goes to pre-school and then has a babysitter pick her up at 4, till I get home at 6. Then I have someone for those inevitable days when I don’t get home until 10.

I have a FT nanny now, in a share. In the fall, both kids are going to preschool on the same schedule, so we are keeping our nanny for PM pickup, playtime, dinner and bath. I just need to find her 20-30 hours to fill the morning gap (which is totally stressing me out). If I can only find 2-3 days for her, she’s willing to do housekeeping for both families to close the gap. It’s worth the extra money to have my kid clean and fed when I get home.

My wife is in sales at Mercedes and she has been averaging $200k a year and growing YoY. She loves her job, however she works long days and barely gets time off. We plan on having kids within the next year or two, and it’s highly u likely that she’ll be able to keep her current gig. We want to find a career that allows her to work remote or that at least gives her a better work life balance so that she can see her kids grow up. Should she get certifications to give her a shot at adtech?Too late?

I am generally uncomfortable when I’m around my mother-in-law’s husband.

While he is overall a decent guy, his anger issues, yelling at his wife for the slightest issue, and insulting nature makes me uncomfortable and triggers my own anger due to his blatant disrespect for just about everyone around him.

My mother-in-law says he’s worked on things, but it’s been 10 years of this and I’m not sure I want such behavior around my wife and our kids since we’re trying to conceive soon (cont).

Do you think you and your significant other should have similar personalities? My significant other and I are doing long distance and I feel like when I FaceTime with him, I emote more and show interest by asking more questions but from his end, he doesn’t always have a reaction or just nods, and it makes me feel like he’s uninterested. On his end he sees it as he’s comfortable.

Hadn’t noticed this sub before, and most of the threads are old so thought I’d ask a follow up - how has everyone been handling parenting with public accounting? I’ve got a toddler and my wife is an accountant (industry), and we only have a few immediate family in the country- but they have health concerns. Busy season was rough, things are looking better now as things return to normal. Still working crazy hours if you count the daycare duties on top of utilization targets.

My SO adds very little to our relationship. She has a dead end job. I cook. I work. I oversee finances. I plan trips. She doesn’t have a voice in the relationship.

Anticipating her wants and needs and then adjusting my behavior to meet them. Which she appreciates but it’s frustrating 29M 27F
