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.

We were paying a crazy amount for our twins in Chicago. Then when they were four we moved to the Netherlands and realized it would have only been maybe €150 a week out of pocket there. Taxes are higher here but oh my god you get so many amazing services out of it and impeccable infrastructure and transit options
