OP come to Boston there are plenty of doctors and professors with secure stable positions that will gladly pay you $15 for one child. I work 53hr at $20 for two children, and these are middle class families paying (not upper middle). [/quote]

How are middle class parents paying you $55-60k / year after taxes, especially considering the crazy Boston real estate market?  That equates to probably about $100k of one of their salaries.  How exactly do you define "middle class"?[/quote]
She didn't say "after taxes". Please come back after a refresher course in reading comprehension. You keep "misreading" posters and it's rather irritating. Do you do this everywhere you disagree?[/quote]

NP here. I did not read it "after taxes" but gross and am also wondering how a middle class family could afford it.  PP, could you please tell us what income range you are defining as middle class?[/quote]

Yea combined my employers make a little shy of 200k. But middle class in MA is different from middle class in most other parts of the country because cost of living and the job market is very different. I break Boston done into three different classes (other than the poor)

Working class: teachers, cops, firefighters, real state agents etc 
couple would make a combined income of 80-150k and would typically use daycare or nanny share

Middle class: certain doctors, lawyers and ppl in finance etc 
A couple would make a combined income of 150-250k

Upper middle class is everyone who makes more

Remember this is Boston and doesn't reflect the entire country. Many individuals here are highly educated, the cost of living is higher and so is the pay. You can find a nice two bedroom condo in the city for 400k if you search enough or you can move 5-15 miles outside the city and get a cute house. Boston is tiny and condensed so commuting isn't as terrible as so other cities. I live 5miles outside the city and my apt cost $1800 but I'm walking distance to the T which will get me into the city in 30mins or I can drive and get there in 15mins. So must families I come across really plan before they have kids because even daycare is going to cost you around 2k a month.
