my kid is DEF going to be a lawyer when she grows up. she really had no chance. she's a huge nerd and plays "work" all the time which involves filling legal pads with scribbles.

child by a lot

$22k/yr preschool
$13k au pair wages
$9k au pair agency fee

plus au pair room and board in downtown DC, which is probably an extra $20k/yr for extra bedroom food etc

is the au pair also teaching a language or just providing childcare?
