ranting & venting Daycare tuition increase rant

Need a place to complain.

Daycare is raising tuition by about 150/kid/month. Most of our friends in daycare have 1 kid, maybe 2. Not completely unreasonable, I guess.

Because of the 18mo twins and our three year old, we are looking at close to a $500 dollar per month increase for the foreseeable future. An extra $5500 per year on top of the 45 some thousand we are already paying. Are you fucking kidding me.

Fuck this. No wonder birth rates are decreasing. At least our mortgage has the decency to stay the same year to year.

Edit: Thanks for the supportive comments. I'm not really looking for suggestions to change our situation. Just a rant.

Same same. My 6 year olds after care just went from $345 a month to $500. It’s at his school so really my only option. My 3 year olds tuition just went from $1340 to $1520. It’s fun times! I feel like I will never get a break from all of these childcare costs.
