[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I consider the people who I trust to care for my child 40+ hours a week, to administer CPR if she’s choking, to cuddle her if she’s having a tough day, a “special class.”  I will be doing what I can to ensure they get paid as much as possible during this time.

[b]The parents at our preschool who are throwing the biggest fits seem to be the ones with no immediate financial concerns, who have never themselves had to worry about surviving on A few hundred dollars a week  unemployment or applying for medicaid. [/b] This crisis is really bringing out people’s true colors.[/quote]

This is so true. I know a couple who makes $500k+ combined (at my conservative estimate), the husband's parents paid all cash for their $1.5M house, the wife is always wearing Gucci or Channel, and they have a live-in nanny (yes their kids go to daycare full time but they've always had a live-in nanny) plus the help from the kids' grandparents. In other words they are not incurring any additional childcare cost due to COVID-19. Yet they are the loudest about trying to get refund from daycare. Makes me really wonder how low some people can be.

DH and I make significantly less than them and we came from not-so-wealthy family too. But we have no problem continuing paying our daycare, b/c at least at this point we are still living comfortably and not worrying about survival. That said, I fully understand people who are facing financial hardship wanting to stop paying daycare. [/quote]
