[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]In reading the threads about RTO, I have been amazed at how many could not return because they lack childcare.  I have said for years, one positive of COVID has been the bandwidth for working mothers that generous telework has allowed.  As I went from active duty military to FED, I have always had childcare and still do; but I recognize that is because my military career embedded that need.  There is a childcare shortage in this country - especially in NOVA.  Could you not RTO due to lack of childcare?  Or the cost of childcare would make it uneconomical? If so, are you a woman?[/quote]
Why are parents entitled to outsourcing their child for cheap? Hiring a complete stranger to essentially parent your child is a luxury, as caregivers have just as many living expenses as you do. [/quote]

I’ve thought about this too.  They’re taking care of your precious kids!  Don’t go cheap.

I had two kids who were in daycare from the time they were 12 weeks old, until they started kindergarten.  It wasn’t cheap, I didn’t make a lot and DH made even less for a while when we had our first.  So no fancy extras for us, one inexpensive vacation a year, not many meals out, only one car payment.

I think a certain number of people have gotten used to not paying for daycare or before-after care and are spending that money elsewhere and don’t want to make cuts to lifestyle.  [/quote]

We had a full time nanny, then I paid for daycare $5600/month, now we have afterschool nanny who drives. But with all that I have to admit my life style sucks. If an employer will offer more flex and reasonable workload I will def make a move.[/quote]
