[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I feel like this is a troll thread started as a way to bash daycare. The first two posts seem like they are from the same person.[/quote]

OP here.  Not at all.  Daycare can be awesome.  My DD loved hers, and so did I but now I think about how little the teachers must have been paid.[/quote]

What kind of job did you have while you were paying for daycare? Why would you not go back to that?[/quote]

Because I realized that I'd rather be healthy than wealthy in retirement. Sitting in an office chair and commuter car for the next 30 years isn't going to get me there. There were people in my office who had fattened into the shape of their office chairs. For real. I know that's extreme,  but I think it is really hard to be active while working a 9-5 with commute and left me with little time to cook healthy meals.

Besides, I really do like taking care of kids. I was SAHM for 3 years, but now older DC is in elementary school and younger DC is lonely and would rather be in full-day.[/quote]

I get it OP. I was a SAHM for 4 years until about 18 months ago when I took a 20 hour a week part-time job for $11 as an aide in an elementary school.  The pay wasn't good, but I liked the fact that I was working for pay again, I had adult colleagues, and my hours were consistent and allowed me to be home with my kids before and after school. I worked at the job all last school year and then spent the summer finding a different, better paying job.
