How did you pay for child care when they were little?

You need to figure it out and cut expenses or if you are low income there are vouchers.

Real middle class don't have health insurance.

Huh? Middle class have health insurance. Maybe you mean lower class

You making $100K+ is not middle class.

People are SO dramatic. You need to be HOSPITALIZED because the stress and trauma of working remotely while managing your kid on a Zoom classroom is too much?

Google a migrant worker gathering bushels of radishes all day. Read up about working in a coal mine, or the allocation of family work among families during the Depression that had no steady income. Here’s a hint: way more unpleasant than missing “wine-o’clock” a few times a week.

I am so sick and tired of this whining. No one “owes” you free money.

I’m with you OP. You really need to let your elected officials know how you feel. And, of course, lewis.ferebee@k12.dc.gov

Except you usually do pay for childcare for all public school children. It's just that right now you are still paying that money but OP and people like her are not receiving the benefit.

Why not just cut her a check?

No, our tax money pays for an education. Its traditionally been in person and the child care is a bonus but since its no longer in person OP and others need to readjust their budget for afford child care, like they did when the kids were little. Surprise, the government is no longer taking care of your kids every day and you need to. Its called parenting. Be an adult and take care of you kids or pay someone.

Your tax money isn't buying education this year either.

I'm still paying taxes. Not my problem that it's not being spent effectively. OPs problem. Still not sending OP a check.

“Ask not what your country can do for you...” to “where’s my government check?” in half a century. SMDH.

Oh, and just to head this off: I’m extremely sorry that I am not rich enough to be able to pay for full time care for my school age child. Really! I feel terrible about it. But I can’t change that right this second, so I’m gonna need some alternatives. Otherwise, you’re just going to be paying for my healthcare when I finally completely lose it and have to be admitted to a mental hospital and my child becomes a ward of the state. Sorry for being middle class I guess?

I deeply sympathize. Hang in there.

Tweets are on twitter.

That’s it. That’s the tweet.
