I was reading another board about sneaking purchases past their husband's. I know I use to sneak before we started doing our finances together. I would actually come home during lunch to get the mail or unload packages. I was pitiful. Even now, I will bring things in the house and wince thinking how upset Devin would be with me.
So, have you ever hid purchases or not told your DH the whole picture of your finances? We use to horrible fights about finances. I would do the weekly budget and e-mail him it. We would discuss it and everything was fine. Then, he would tell me two days later that he was doing a marathon that cost $75.00. I had to actually ask him before we did the budget-Do you have any marathons? Do you need shoes? Do you have any equipment you need? Can you tell I

No, my nanny only watches two kids, one fewer than yours.
Loving my children is not one of the requirements of her job (even though she does).

Just thought I'd chime in. My DCP owns four homes and is financially independent. She takes on kids for partial pay, and has kept kids for extended periods of time for FREE.

OKAY. so i'll raise you 4 years since i'm 40. I have 3 kids and have been a parent for 12.5 YEARS, 2 of them are special needs. I have 12 YEARS of experience using ALL different forms of dc. My best friend WAS a dcp for 7 YEARS. So, i would say that MY opinion AND experience are way, way more valid than yours. but thanks for playing.

Since you ask, I won't be paying someone to teach my babes. We pay large school taxes here, but I don't think that's what you're implying. Other than to bait, I really don't see where your response is heading. It takes just a wee bit more intellectual creativity than I think you're capable of to get to me! But thanks for trying. I do enjoy a good debate when my opponent has a half a brain.
Uh no...my kids were never with a gaggle of babies such as yours.
