[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’m reading it now and copying some relevant snippets

“ Meanwhile, prices continue to rise with inflation. One mother who lives outside of D.C. was recently informed that day-care tuition for each of her kids would be going up by about $100 a month. For a 4-year-old and a 1-year-old, the bill comes out to more than $41,000 a year.”

Low pay “ The average child-care worker in the U.S. makes around $13 an hour. Around 95 percent of child-care workers are women; more than a third are women of color. When I drop my daughter off at 7:30 a.m., I exchange smiles and thank the women who will care for her for the next nine to ten hours. But I also feel uneasy. I know I’m getting the better end of the deal.”

This article is nothing new. Daycare is expensive, different parts of the United States pay different amounts of money and the writer feels her mental state is better because she has her child in daycare.

This was true 10 years ago as well.  It’s nothing new.  [/quote]
