[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think what everyone is ignoring with regards to this topic is that affordable childcare is a real issue in this country.  What are parents supposed to do who can't afford a nanny or a daycare center?  The income limits for daycare assistance are extremely low in most states.  What happens is parents leave their children in unsafe situations because of this issue.

You have no idea what this person's financial situation is so I think piling judgment and ridicule on them is very unkind.  That may be the absolute best they can do and they  may be desperate.  [/quote]

The thing is, "affordable" childcare is not a right. The expense of childcare is a reality that *should* be considered before having kids. Making a decent wage for honest work is a right that we used to value in this country. The real issue is how do we make childcare affordable, while also attracting and retaining quality caregivers, and paying them enough to maintain a certain quality of life. No one cares about the cost of childcare until they have to pay it, and no one cares about childcare workers in general.[/quote]

People need to consider the cost of children beforehand. Kids are expensive! 
I told myself I wouldn't have kids until I was financially ready. Being single and a nanny I am not ready. I may never have kids at this rate. I grew up poor and promised my self (& future children) I would never do that to my kids.

Don't ask someone to watch your kids plus cleaning and everything else for minimal money. [/quote]
