[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I agree with you.  It bothers me because the talk around universal preK is really a push to not tackle the real issue: most families cannot afford to live without two working parents.  I wish they'd tackle housing costs, college costs, wages, etc. that would allow people to make the best decision for their family, whether that's working or staying home.[/quote]

Who is “they”?  I DID make the best decision for my family and that was to wait to have children until we could afford to buy a small home and live on one income .  I never conceived of a “they” making that possible[/quote]

They is our government, both parties. The laws they pass impact housing and college costs and the decisions people make about if, or when, then have kids.

I am glad you made a good decision for your family. The point is the decision point has evolved. 40 years ago it was much easier to have a single earner family with two kids who could afford a home, retirement, and college for their kids.  That’s the point, choices have been taken away due to the cost of home, colleges and wages. [/quote]
