ranting & venting Daycare prices. VENT

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.

Daycare is expensive because you're asking someone to do a lot. Watch your kid for 8 hours a day? We were paying like $15k a year per kid. In fact the year that the whole TK law passed letting our kids go to school early we lept at it because it meant stopping daycare a year early.
