[quote=Anonymous]I have zero sympathy for these neighbors/friends/coworkers. They need to figure it out. ~ single mom who has always paid for childcare even on a $100k salary (and a 4yo and 6yo during covid!)[/quote] There are day care subsidies for lower income. Often it doesn't pay to work. I made $65K. Day care was $2500 a month so post taxes, etc. it wasn't work me working.[/quote] I was basically working to afford daycare for my daughter's first two years (husband's salary wasn't that great either). Thankfully both of our incomes increased faster than daycare did, but having a foot in the door was also worth something to me. (and kept me sane because I would have been a terrible SAHP). We cut costs in other places to make it work.[/quote]
