Out of curiosity, how old are the children? How old are the two of you?

Usikubali. How i pray my wife had a job apunguze kunidai saloon etc money.

I think it's a good idea if you can afford it..nothing beats peace of mind knowing your children are well taken care of!! But i'm also of the idea she should have something else to occupy her mind other than the kids...a small business or some classes

Na hii maneno ya kuogopa being asked for saloon money..ukienda kukywa fri isn't that money you are spending!?

Whatever decision that you finally take, make sure you and your wife are in agreement and all concerns have been put on the table openly. Otherwise, trouble looms down the road.

Here is the story of a friend of mine who lives in Athi River. Wife earns 20K. when they calculated the transport, lunch and salary ya nanny they figured out that it balances or even goes above 20K then they did a cost benefit analysis focussed on the kids: the risk of nannies abusing kids, nannies being a headache and having to keep changing them (issues za househelp bureaus) and above all nothing beats having mum raise the kids. so wife quit jobo and they lived happily ever after
