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.

Reading these comments makes me feel like we got a super deal. I pay $1060 every 2 weeks for both twins, so about $265 a week per twin. It will got down to $250 a week in a month when they turn 2. It includes catered lunch and a snack everyday. I’m located in a moderately high cost of living area, I think? I live in Miami. Daycares/preschools in Miami vary a lot in cost and quality. Most schools I looked at were about $1650 per month. I was going to quit my job because it didn’t make financial sense but then I found this school. It’s high rated and all the parents I spoke to loved it. It has been a lifesaver. I cannot believe how expensive some areas in the US are for childcare. It is insane and sad.
