[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Most of the women in my company who tried to WFH and watch their preschoolers themselves in order to save on childcare were fired or forced to quit. Those of us who raised our children before the pandemic did not have it any easier than you all do. Wages have risen in our area commensurate with costs of housing, etc. Give me a break. You all had it easier than we did for a time, but now recess is over. [/quote]

Not sure where you live, but wages haven't come close to keeping up with housing costs in the DMV. Child care costs have also skyrocketed compared to wages.[/quote]

I do believe this. I could not have afforded FT childcare and to work FT if I had to do it today (at my equivalent salary when I had my kid).[/quote]

Nor could I at the time, but I just had to make it work for a few years. I don't know why you all think it's harder now? Wait, I do. It's because you had it so easy during the pandemic. Just stop it. Stop using your employers to pay you while you also watch your children and probably work another job too. The big steal is about to end. Accept it.[/quote]

I paid for 2 kids in daycare prior to COVID and had a third with a gap during COVID. You really can’t compare the price and availability of childcare in the 2010s to now. The childcare market has adjusted and so you really don’t know what you’re talking about.[/quote]
