What happens when your sister doesnt want to help watch your baby anymore?

And you make just slightly over the cap of Child Care Assistance?

But you don't have the money to afford Child Care anyway?

What do I DO???

I dont know what to do!!!

Maybe check some local provider message boards for care-swaps? If you guys could hang with another little one for a couple days a week, you could trade off and have their people take your baby the other days and you both get the childcare you need without a lot of expense. Also maybe check into schools with childcare development courses, since they often have daycares built into the curriculum and offer grants for care.

Child swaps eh?

James would have to be the one ok with that. He would be the one watching the extra one. Not sure he would dig it, but its worth a try.

It's a definite money saver, and even just in the short term until you guys could figure something else out, it might help. You might even find that the days they need care would be on days when you or both of you are at home, so it wouldn't be just one of you saddled with an extra baby.
