[quote=Anonymous]I have two kids in daycare (infant and preschooler) and pay $2500 per month total. I only make a little more than that (take-home) per month (I work part-time, 4 days/week). But the way DH and I look at it, it's not just MY salary that's going to child care. It's money we put aside from our total household income for our kids' care so that we can both work at jobs we enjoy (I am not cut out to be a full-time SAHM). And this isn't forever--the big kid starts school in the fall, which halves our daycare bill. And by working during their baby/child years, I'm keeping myself up-to-date and on track for better, higher-paying jobs down the road. So the fact that my salary only barely covers daycare right now isn't an issue. [/quote]
