Another Tough Decision
|
On New Year Day, my wife told me that 2008 will be one of our best years ever. In fact, the number “8” represents a lot in our life; we met on May 8th, we got married on May 8th and if we add “8” to any of our family member birthday (me, my wife and our two children), it leads to the next one (5th, 13th, 21st, 29th). So 2008 “should” be a good year for us. However, nothing happens without a bit of effort! After supper, William was playing in the living room and my wife and I were talking while going through the local news paper and other promotional flyers. |

At one point, she suddenly stopped reading and looked at me.
Even though we don’t plan having her working over a long period of time, there is still a possibility that she would have to work for another year depending on how our personal finance is going. Once she quit, she would also have the possibility to leave our children two or three days a week at a daycare much closer than the one we actually go. As there is a waiting list of 2 years, there are no other solutions for us if we want to move our children closer to where we live.
On the other hand, she would go only 25 hours a week compared to 35 hours at the age of 1 year if we stick to the original plan.

I think the word is “tough” not “though”.

Hello Financial Blogger,
Haven’t read your awsome blog for about a week, we too were blessed with the arrival of Baby TKO last Friday.
The content of your posts still rocks, but the font plainly sucks.
With all due respect, please change it as the text looks like something my new born baby did this morning in her diaper.
Cheers,
TKO from Ontario

lol - congrats TKO.
I said the same thing this week (but not in those words).

Oh, that isn’t a easy one to deal with. I’m not sure what the answer is, but I just have one question.
If there is a two year wait list for childcare why doesn’t your wife just open a daycare up in your house? After all her commute time drops to zero and if there is that much demand in the area she should be able to pick up a few kids.
Just an idea,
Tim

Congrats TKO!! It’s a boy or a girl?
I just changed it. Hope you like this one!
… and I got the message regarding my new font
CD, we thought of opening one at our house but that would require that my wife has to work from 7am till 6pm five days a week. Not very temping considering that you can not charge more than $25 per kid/day.
