The access and affordability to childcare is crucial to working class families who don’t have the options of stay at home parents, relatives offering to watch the kids, etc.
Recommend adopting a kid that is already largely self sufficient. Bonus points if you get an exceptionally good athlete who might "make it" and allow you to quit working 10-15 years from now.
-Tonight is a little scary tbh - Buzz has done a pretty remarkable job this year, have even seen him tossed around with Cal for SEC COY. That squad, early on, was among the worst teams in all of cbb, regardless of level.
-Leonard Hamilton was overrated so long that he's now vastly underrated. They haven't done much in March, but that program is tough every year these days; they will break through eventually if he keeps stacking talent - he's had 7 guys drafted in the last 4 years, and will have 2-3 more this year. They have like 8 good guard/wings, and are relentless. Love Vassel, especially.
-McBillions is a pretty fascinating watch.
-IHG Card has a 140K bonus currently. Highest that's ever been, or will ever be.
-Mack is a cool dude, but he's looked pretty bad several times this year when I've really watched them. Last night, he was apparently content with letting FRESH, Darius, and company just play 1-4 hero ball - couldn't believe it, really. That 12 point lead turned to 12 the other way in a flash.
I can't recall a player who looks so good against marginal teams, and like a scrub against legit ones like Nwora. It's uncanny. What a touching ***** that guy is.

Sloot, in fairness I think what cricket was trying to say was, "Could you please STFU and go make Anthony a sandwich? Poor guy is all stressed out thinking about that time he had to see his nanny and kid for a few minutes when all he was trying to do was sneak away from doing his job for a little while to take a nap.
Stop thinking about yourself and figure out how to better take care of your man. That is your primary job. Don't forget it."
Shame on you, Cricket.

I've been led to believe that coming home alone at lunch to find your nanny there is a lot more exciting than Anth makes it sound. Sad!
Daycare is outrageous and became even more mind boggling once we had our second. Like.. A second mortgage on a nice home.
We loved the daycare but getting the lil lassies up, fed, dressed & ready in the morning and picking them up became a hassle in terms of work schedules. My schedule is a lot more flexible than my wife’s schedule but it was still hectic in the mornings.
We hired one of the teachers we really liked to be their nanny. She arrives at 7:30 in the morning and leaves when we get home. The kids are already bathed. Makes the mornings and evenings that much easier and we also don’t have to worry about the dreaded phone call from daycare....YOUR CHILD HAS A FEVER AND WE NEED SOMEONE TO COME PICK HER UP SOON AND PER THE RULES SHE CAN’T RETURN TO THE PREMISES FOR ANOTHER 24 HOURS.
That would happen during flu season multiple times and we’d be scrambling, asking a grandparent to pick them up, transferring car seats, leaving work early, so on and so forth.

I was very fortunate that when my son was of age that my company had an off-site daycare facility that went up to Pre-K that was only three hundred dollars a month for employees.
How ironic that Chad himself is going to be what ruins GYERO.
lol whatever commie
:joy: at Richie.
But you should have had the lass put her successful career on hold and stay home for 5+ years.

The super secret Sloot-B.Money text chain is probably on fire right now.
I don’t know what the answer is. All I know is that I plan on working until 70 or so based on educational costs, inflation, so on and so forth. When I’m 70 the lil lassies will be out of college and I imagine the wife will still be working some. Perfect time for me to retire. Get up early everyday. Go for a nice walk with the dog. Steam. Hit up the sports book for some daily GAMBOL ( I’ll still have to go across the river in 2050) and then enjoy an agreeable meal with some buddies for lunch. Also have a standing daily 4:00 happy hour.
The nice thing about parenting these days is with social media it’s easier to see what everyone else does and really come together as a community to respectfully share opinions.
F that. I introduced several topics in this morning’s shorts. I tried to pull these yahoos off the childcare theme. I want to talk about High Fidelity, actually.
Also looking forward to retiring at 70 and enjoying the last 4 or 5 years of my life.
I plan on retiring at 70 and starting my second career and doing that until I die
Nothing is more fitting than Chad's beloved High Fidelity starring some chick named Zoe.
Financially, I just can’t even imagine how brutal it must be out there for a banking executive and a doctor. The middle class truly is dying.
Puppies, rich.
Puppies, rich.
The High Fidelity reboot is absolutely awful. Jesus Christ, Chad. Its a complete disservice to the original movie. (not an opinion I need rebuttal on- its fact)
Some chick lol
Lisa Bonet and Lenny Kravitz’s daughter.
Oh lemme guess- BBdK has never seen The Cosby Show or listened to “American Woman.”
What a character.

Oh, she was on The Cosby Show?
That one sure has aged well.

The guy paid $$$ to send his Barbour jacket to London to have it "re-waxed", so you tell me?
True GYEROMAN **** right there.
-re: lisa bonet...angel heart ftw.
-i like barbour plenty. But its basically englands version of Carhartt...buddy used to buy cheap/bring back the stuff from England every time he went to see parents, from englands equivalent to Southern States. Best gift giving scheme ever.

Your Nick Hornby obsession is weird. He's fine.
My Barbour is 12 years old and doesn’t show any signs of wear. Pretty solid product tbh but I’m a stupid *** ***** per rudd.
Also, we need to note he hailed hiring a private nanny in the same breathe as cursing day care costs. Pure Rich. Easily 75% more expensive and require all kind of additional tax bs.
Lol at Max sending his kids to state sponsored day care. Good luck, bub. Hand, foot, mouth would be best case scenario.

You stay the their properties? looking for a new rewards card and always good to have extra nights to burn at hotels.
Honestly, I may never retire.
Between health care costs, retirement savings, life insurance, ski lessons in Aspen, owning and operating our sons travel baseball team, ballet, building an indoor basketball practice facility, vacationing in Martha’s Vineyard, the au pere, a safe reliable new SUV for each member of the family, a proper fitting Rolex for each occasion, yacht storage, our champion pheasant hunting dogs, 4 years at Swarthmore, piano, the French immersion culinary program, our annual contribution to the Opera, the Ferragamo collection, dinner club dues....ugh.

"Ha! Have my wife not work for a few years? How can I afford that?!?
My solution? Well, hire a professional adult to be on my personal full time payroll, of course"

-no, its really high quality gear. Just pointing out that marketing/branding plays a role in cost.
-he used to take A&F gear to his nieces...as it was cheaper here and marketed as a "higher end" brand in England.
-i would never call you stupid.
*edit* also its *field* gear...should last forever in "light duty" use.

It never ceases to amaze me how often some parents insist the only way to rear your child to be anything less than a life sentenced felon is to do things considerably more expensive/prestigious/difficult than how they themselves grew up.
If children really MUST have overpaid nannies, brand new cars, designer clothing, and $65,000 a year private college, then how in TF did any of us ever make it out alive?

More parenting advice from non-parents, please!
If you've ever listened to Dan's radio show, you realize just how amazing that one is. :joy: His best yet imo - dude is a treasure.
If some of you where TRUE GYERO men, you would earn enough so that your lovely spouse could stay home to make sure your chidren are raised by their parent. if the wife needs to fill a void / get bored at home, she can get a job, have one of the retired grandparents help with little Johnny or Suzy. Worked out great for us, she stayed home most of the time, worked a couple years at a time here and there. I did not want, nor did she want to work the whole time our kids where growing up. I was blessed to be able to make enough to live comfortable, and she could be at home with the kids. On weekends and evenings, I helped out. But it takes a very solid relationship of give and take. I do not have a McMansion, but we do all right.
The only thing worse than parenting advice from non-parents is parenting advice from everyone else (read: parents).
