[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We could start by teaching people to live within their means. [/quote] Yes! It won’t happen, but YES.[/quote] What world do you live in? Daycare teachers make minimum wage. How do you live with that in DC? This is why we can’t keep daycare caregivers. [/quote] They aren’t talking about daycare workers. They’re talking about two parent families who think living in big houses in expensive neighborhoods, with multiple vacations a year, expensive extracurriculars, eating out regularly etc are necessities, so therefore they both HAVE to work full-time from the moment of their child’s birth to fund that lifestyle, thus they HAVE to pay for childcare, and then complain about the cost.[/quote] This. People don't want to live within their means. They want million dollar homes, European vacations every year and a massive SUV in the garage AND the government to subsidize their daycare expenses.[/quote] +1[/quote]
