[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It’s not a lack of childcare that’s the problem; it’s that these women want to have it both ways. They don’t want to pay anyone else to watch their children, they prefer to fleece their employers.[/quote]

There are plenty of before and after care options. People just don’t want to pay. Though it’s the responsibility of mom and dad, not just mom, in ideal circumstances.

Completely depends where you are, all the daycare centers that offer full daycare are at capacity around me. Preschool runs until 3pm at the latest. [b]There is a waitlist for the school offered after care if your kid is school age[/b].[/quote]

There is a waitlist if you sign up today. If you had signed up years ago when your kid started K, you would be off the waitlist by now.

Look, I totally get that people wanted to save money on childcare and have their kids home with them. But just own it. Own that it was a choice that you intentionally made. It was great while it lasted but now you have to pay the piper and it’s not everybody else’s fault/problem.[/quote]

Don’t be such a nitwit. Daycare centers provide care for infants through preschool. That’s where you put your name on a waitlist before you’re even pregnant and by the time  your imagined child is 2, you’re usually offered a spot.

For children in kindergarten and up, aftercare is offered by the school and the waitlists don’t carry over year to year. The school offers a limited number of spots in the Fall and if you don’t get a spot, you’re out of luck until the next school year starts, with very little chance of getting a spot off waitlist.

And, as for other childcare options, as we learned during the pandemic, many providers bailed on that industry after finally realizing they could receive better pay and benefits by working in other fields. So, there aren’t a lot of options right now.

I realize you’re likely not interested in the facts, but offering this explanation just in case you, or others, have any interest in understanding the issues at play.
