[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The disconnect of some PPs on here of how bad the situation is for people who need to find child care for your kids is just so revolting.  Our country prioritizes work but not kids and families.  Options for childcare are limited and often not good.  Housing all over is expensive.  These "easy" solutions and "choices" you are going on about may not be easy or available for everyone.

Some of you wagging your finger on here should shove it up your butts unless you want to be part of the solution of making things better for families with two working parents.

And the sexist shade towards working moms is disgusting.[/quote]

Just bumping this because it’s 100% accurate. A whole lot of people with no understanding of the childcare crisis are comfortable being confidently wrong on this thread.

I recommend Louise Stoney and Eliot Haspel’s work, Dan Wuori’s new book, the substacks Early Learning Nation and Small Talks.

Stoney has been clear since the 70s or 80s that child care is an economic and feminist issue and that without ample supply of quality care, women cannot participate fully in the economy. This is not a new or unusual argument and yet our government has not seen fit to invest in early learning. Why is that, I wonder.[/quote]
