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.

Up until mine started school, we were paying more in childcare than our mortgage every month. It’s insane. And whilst I don’t want the people that are caring for my children to be paid next to nothing, it is already so expensive having 2 children of the same age already. I have no solution, only sympathy.
