    Unlimited money? A new house so a nanny could live in it with the kids full time! JK!

    Seriously, Charlie and Olivia spend one day a week in chidcare, and Lexie will be joining them when she gets to 12 months. If money was no object, I would still probably keep it at that.

    I spent a long while investigating my childcare options when we first moved to this area and weighed up the pros and cons for me and my family with regard to family day care, childcare in a centre, a nanny etc etc, and I believe, that for me and my babies, I have the best possible outcome, for us, my mental state, their socialisation etc. I have also made good friend sthrough the centre.

    They love "school" as they both call it. The centre is small and very personal and their carers are now family firends who we can call onto baby sit at home as well if the need ever arises.

    This one day a week means I get to spend time with just me and Lexie....it is GOLDEN time for me at the moment.

    When she goes off as well, it will be my day to clean and get chores done and have "me time".

    I have zero family support sadly and so this one day in childcare is a fantastic lifeline of support for me.

    Moeny no object: the same as I do now I reckon.......it works for us........each to their own of course!
