[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Nobody forced you to have children and you should know that you will need child care or you will need to stay home and take care of your child. Child care givers also deserve to make a decent living and $10/hr is not a livable wage. $15/hr should be minimum for each child. Do not live above your means whether this means a house, car, or child that you cannot afford.[/quote] $15 for each child?! if that was truly the going rate women would start staying home with their children. I realize there are plenty of high earners in the area but the average is around $85k. At $30/hr and 45 or 50 hours a week, plus employmer taxes, it would cost me money to work outside the home! I'm not loosing money AND missing out on quality time with my children. [/quote]
