When will our granddaughter’s childcare be free in NYC?

Are you an idiot?

No.

It’s going to be funny when the free stuff doesn’t materialize.

Having sex is a choice though, isn't it?

In far too many cases the answer to this question is no.

She won’t know a lick of English and she won’t be providing any curriculum or learning per day but she’ll make sure the kid is fed, changed, and alert to time and place at least

The kid will be bilingual, however. I've known kids that grew up like this and they learned a foreign language to full native fluency as well as a greater appreciation of foreign culture and cuisine. And, no, it wasn't all Mexicans or Spanish language. This should not to be undervalued—in fact it's priceless. Teach your own kids arithmetic, science, English, and history. Why would you trust the average public daycare or elementary school to do this for you?

She should’ve gotten an abortion.

Lots of women in other states would kill for the rights she has in NY, and she didn’t even make use of it.

This is her own fault. She could’ve chosen not to be on this predicament. Other women in other places don’t get that choice. She sounds dumb and self absorbed.

And if it does….? Like free Universal Pre-K did? Then will you shut up?

Reading these posts explains why the birthrate is going down.

She wanted a child. She utilized a donor. She pays all of her bills. She is a pediatrician.

I want a pony, but I made the choice not to buy one because it would be a financially irresponsible decision and I wouldn't have time to take care of it properly.

She covers her expenses and is a wonderful mother, thank you very much. Your pony example is stupid.

This. People are alone responsible for the consequences of their choices. While the socialists may not think so, other people's childbearing choices should not be a burden on those around them.

That's good to hear. Maybe she made the right choice for her life, given her needs and wants, but these choices involve compromises. What gives her the right to expect the rest of us to subsidize these choices?

She should get a better paying job in your town and move in with you. Problem solved.

Often, no. But you knew that.

She is not a low wage earner.

Then, why can’t she save for emergencies?

Child care costs.

what is she currently paying?

$28,000/yr

Per day, that is really cheap. Sounds like it’s already subsidized. Is it?
