[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]How is it that childcare costs more than my mortgage? I live in Bethesda and have an infant and toddler. 9-6 care at a local daycare center is 5k/month for both! What do people do? Quit working and parent FT? Stop saving for retirement? Raid their savings? Move to a LCOL?[/quote] What do you think the cost of childcare for 2 children for 9 hours a day / 5 days a week should be? [/quote] Seriously. This is 3/4 or more of your children’s waking hours. It’s the majority of the experiences they have in their whole lives. Of course it should cost more than your mortgage.[/quote] Taxes pay for public schools. Why not public daycare?[/quote]
