I realize that many preschools run on very thin margins, but so are many families. What "sacrifice" means for you, may not mean the same for others. Nobody wants their childcare providers to go out of business, but that doesn't mean that families who choose to pull their children out of should be guilted into paying outrageous amounts of money. And yes, to many many working families, $4k is outrageous. As far as established environments and familiar surroundings, perhaps your children are very different, but I can guarantee that mine will be starting over regardless what school she goes to after staying home for 3 months. I agree that paying your childcare is a kind thing to do if you can afford it, but please don't make the rest of us seem heartless because we chose our family financial survival over someone else's[/quote]

If you could afford it when you were using it, you can afford it even though you're not using it.[/quote]

By “afford it when you were using it” you mean during normal economic times when people weren’t under constant fear of pay cuts/job loss/contracting an illness that could requires weeks-long hospitalization and the government had not passed expanded unemployment benefits and forgiveable payroll loans.

[b][If you take an economic hit then yes you should pull the plug because you have to. But that's not really the scenario here. The PP just doesn't want to pay for something she's not getting even though she can afford to pay for it..][/b]

What people could afford a few months ago is not remotely comparable to now. [b][Unless you were actually laid off, wrong.][/b]

And people may have been more willing to stretch their budget for a service they really needed because they felt confident in their paycheck to live stretched to their means. 
[b][That says they actually [i]couldn't[/i] afford it before. If you weren't living beyond your means before then you [i]can [/i]still afford it now.][/b]

You sound like some childcare provider troll trying to money grab. It’s gross. Go file for unemployment or take out a loan that everyone’s taxes are covering instead of putting this on the backs of your customers to keep you employed. [b][You sound like an extremely poorly educated troll who thinks it is good argumentation to attack the motives of another person. It's gross. Go take an online course in rhetoric and learn how to avoid logical fallacies in the future.][/b]
