[quote=Anonymous][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] What would be the income limit? Would all parents have to send their kids to this daycare? All the extra money parents would "save" would just make the price of everything go up[/quote]
