[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Yep - welcome to DC!

We live in Montgomery County and pay $3600/month for an infant and a 3 yo. Writing that check makes me want to throw up a little. [/quote]
Why do you want to vomit about the high cost of substitute care of *your* baby and three year old? Are you happier to write a bigger check for your mortgage payment?

Do you not understand the (typically) permanent consequences of inadequate care of such little children? Hence, The Hell of American Daycare. Google it and educate yourself a bit. Perhaps you'll then be happy. to. pay. for. decent. childcare. Perhaps not.

Not the PP, but we pay $3,500 month for our infant and toddler in daycare, and while I very much appreciate that they are well taken care of while my husband and I are at work, I get a pit in my stomach writing that huge check. I want the workers to be well-paid, and I want my children to get quality care, but I do get that slightly nauseous/anxious feeling about how much money we spend for childcare. Oh, and our mortgage payment is about half of our childcare costs. We live in an unfashionable neighborhood in Ward 5.[/quote]
