[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Don't be jerks people. Those running a daycare around here aren't making tons of money. If you can pay, then pay.[/quote]

The problem is that [b]many of us CANNOT afford to pay[/b] if we aren't also earning a paycheck.

I cannot work if my kid can't be in daycare.[/quote]

This is what I’m working about. We pay our preschool a monthly tuition in advance. I am about to make April’s payment. So I know I’m paying through April 30th. It’s already budgeted for so that gets us 7 weeks out from now. If they ask for May’s payment 4 weeks from now though and there is no sign of re-opening, I don’t know what I’m going to do. I’m worried I’m going to have to take unpaid leave or be forced to work from home in which case I’ll need to hire at least some part time care. But part time care + our expensive preschool tuition will eat up my whole paycheck. We come out about $1600/month “ahead” (plus retirement and health benefits) with me working. That doesn’t leave a ton leftover to hire someone to come help watch the kids while we work from home + pay our preschool. If I’m going to literally spend all my money so I can keep working, then I’d be better off taking LWOP and not dealing with the stress of work + kids at home.[/quote]
