Wife and I WFH with a 5 month old. It doesn’t feel like we need a full time nanny but it seems impossible to hire anyone for less than 40 hrs. No chance we will go to a day care in a pandemic. Nanny is $3200 a month. What are the other options that are cheaper

Try a nanny share. Smaller than day care and less expensive than nanny

A ton of families in my building do nanny share.

Why do you want less than 40 hrs? As kid gets older and more mobile and needy getting any work done while they are awake is hard

We had an 11 month old at the beginning of the pandemic. It was completely unmanageable this past year and we finally caved and sent him to daycare. He has been going since August ‘20 and we are thankful for it each day. Costs us $2,300 and is worth every penny. Once they get mobile, it’ll be nearly impossible to work and watch them at the same time.

Have you checked out Care.com?

We have a nanny for $2400 but thats in Texas. Keep finding...

Nanny share with another family so between you two you can get to 40

Try Au Pair.

Cheapest solution is you or your spouse take a leave from your job to take care of the kid, or rely on parents, grandparents, etc.

Obviously these options don't work for everyone though

EY1 sounds like child labor with extra steps

We didn’t really need a nanny until about 7-8 months. We got one 3 days a week and that was enough to keep our sanity and not break the bank.

I've been avoiding breaking up with someone (I've been dating off and on for a year) for the past few weeks because I can't decide the best way to do it. We're not compatible long-term. He's not seeing anyone else and I've told him I'm seeing other people but he's starting to have relationship expectations for me since we reconnected a few months ago. Any tips for having the conversation? I'd prefer to do it via text but I know people say it's not appropriate and it should be over the phone.
