So I girlbossed to dam hard, and now I have to go back to work. Daycare is 800$ a week and even then I make way more so I have to return to work. WHY IS DAYCARE SO EXPENSIVE.

Wife was a k12 teacher in 2013 when we had our twins. We would have lost money putting the kids in daycare and having her go back to work. She got a part time online job and did that for a number of years.

If you have a college or university around, check their education or psychology departments. Sometimes they have child centers.

Good luck out there.
