Or, move to my house where your husband doesn't want to impregnate you and leaves you and you can't have any babies!

Our stupid comp changed browsers and I can't remember what email is tied to Mrs.Expchic. I guessed this one and this screen name came up.
Can I get on the Groomz daycare waitlist? It wouldn't require me to move and you can entertain the kids with my H's extensive DVD collection. What kind of discount would that get me?
I think so. I'll find out when I get home. But I just meant to make a joke, not hijack the thread.*
So, like.....BAAAAYBIES!

Having the rage and reading this does not bode well for anything in close proximity to me. What a fvcking imbecile.
I work at an ECE Center and could not afford to send my own children there. We bought our house now with hopes that in 3 years we will make more and afford kids but at this rate we can pay our bills and put just enough into savings each month (Neither of us have any school debt, if we did we wouldn't have been able to buy a home).
I can't afford another cat at this point, never mind a child. At least I can't afford to have one and a life I want to live.
Completely agree.

With you guys.
And I know nannies that make 6 figures around here, so I don't know that a nanny is any cheaper. If I didn't dislike most other people's kids, I might consider it myself.
I thought about sending E to this one daycare/pre-school near me and they told me $600 for TWO PARTIAL DAYS, like 9-11:30a. That was after she made me feel like an a-hole for not pursuing getting him in pretty much before he was born. Yeah, he's not going there.
Ditto. Having kids is nobody else's business but the egg and sperm providers'. It doesn't matter the reasons why you're waiting.
Thanks.
And I totally agree. I guess it's back to the old "polite smile and nod".
I bet her FUPA's name is Shane, like the gunslinger/drifter of literature.--HappyTummy
I agree too! And fo' realz, the kind of nanny that would work for what I'd want to pay is probably a nanny I don't want.
The only time we talked about getting a nanny was when we were considering moving back to where my brother lives. We were going to split the cost of a nanny and have all of our kids together. (his 2, B, and then his friends kid).
We looked at a daycare center that had excellent ratings and was close to home. It was $1400/month and had a crazy wait list. The one at my work is just as bad. We went with an inhome daycare and pay $45/day which is high for this area (norm is $35/day).
People are so frickin nosey. If it isn't when are you going to have a baby it is when are you going to have a 2nd. Oh you aren't. Well then you are just sooo mean because you aren't giving little B a brother or sister. ONE AND DONE FOLKS!
Unfortunately, this one doesn't stop when you are divorced. Lanieface.
Thank you SO MUCH for this! Living in RI and commuting to Boston has been making the daycare search difficult, and this is AWESOME info!
