I don't think being a SAHM would suit me and I do make more than the cost of 2 kids in daycare. It won't be a ton more but enough to continue working, I think. </p> <p>Our daycare gives a 10% discount for subsequent children, I believe. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/will-you-have-two-kids-in-daycare#post-294107 Thu, 13 Sep 2012 19:24:04 +0000 CupQuakeWalk 294107@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Andrea: We fear this because we want our kids close in age....so I figure I just won't work until they are both in pre-k and kindergarten. Is that an option? I am a social worker and we don't make enough to justify spending daycare fees on 2 kids! It would be my entire paycheck.<br /> If I did have that option: i'd do an in-home nanny if it were equal or lesser price.<br /> Do daycares not give any sort of discount on multiple children?

DD #1 will still have a few years of daycare left - ugh, double daycare!! Not fun, but I don't want to pull DD #1 out of daycare since she loves it and would be so bored at home (with a nanny). I've seen a few people switch to a nanny once they have another LO. It does make sense financially, though. What would you do? </p>
