[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I've started looking for daycare for 2 yo DD, and holy-moly is it expensive. I[b] am 99% sure that I'll be offered a job at a sweet place doing what I enjoyed before DD's birth, and it's looking that I will need to turn down the offer[/b] because there won't be much $$ left over after paying $1800 for childcare.

To those of you with modest salaries: 
How do you all afford childcare or how did you find something that costs less but where your kids are happy?

Second interview this week. I would love to take the job, and would be so grateful for any advice.[/quote]

Why would you this? Even if you break even or go a little in the red, it will get you back in the workforce. If you want to work, [i]of course [/i]you take the job you like at a good place--do you know how fortunate that opportunity is? It may not be there 3 years down the road when DD is ready for school.

Assuming you get some kind of raise in the meantime, you will have some money left over, a job, and other opportunities.

Of course, this assume you want to work. If you want to, just take the job.

I don't know where you are, but I am sure you can find childcare for a little bit less. I will let others chime in on this. But I say take the job. [/quote]
