[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Well, before inflation happened I was paying $4k/month for two kids in a very unimpressive daycare. Since that's about the median wage for a lot of 4 person families it's pretty apparent why it's unaffordable for even 30 year olds.[/quote] No one is forcing you to live in the DC area and no one is forcing you to pay Bright Horizon prices. No one forced you to have children two years apart. We had ours three years apart so we were only paying double daycare for two years.[/quote] Uh, if you Google in home daycares in this area you get lots of articles about child deaths, unlicensed facilities, and lots of other problems that would make it hard to work while your child is there. The people getting cheap care are desperate and hoping for the best.[/quote]
