[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We paid for the first and it was so expensive. We spaced out our children and had our second when DC1 was in preK. I ended up staying home with DC2 so we didn’t have to pay the daycare rates since we determined it wasn’t worth it on my teacher salary.

Now you are telling me to pay for two since they are both in school. We can’t find places that will guarantee they will be open for mid and late elementary. All say maybe and probably but they don’t know yet. My solution to daycare before was to quit my teaching job. Is this what you are suggesting I do again since we figured it out before?[/quote]

Yes.  That is life as a parent. It is your responsibility not the governments. [/quote]

I never said I wanted the government to pay for daycare. Two of you quickly agreed and told me to quit. Believe me, I’m seriously considering it. I’ve already told my principal and HR.  It’s amusing that on this thread you are encouraging teachers to quit because you acknowledge finding affordable childcare is hard, and there are hundreds of other angry posts on other threads right now angry that teachers want to quit because we don’t have childcare.

For the record, I want schools to open full time, with a miracle and be safe, so that this is not an issue for any working parents. Kids need to be back in school and we need to go back to work. [/quote]
