1st that was signed in 2017. Biden said he was going to help so in 2021 he made the billed back better act which didn't pass because 1 Democrat Joe Manchin of WV in December of 2021! So now if Biden was such a wonderful president WHY DID he wait 3 years in 2024 April he passed Child Care and Developmental Fund Program which does not Help all families. he didn't care that was a political move. he could have done something 22, 23!

The reason the inflation on daycare is is so excessive is because so many people are on daycare assistance through the government which allowed the daycare to jack their prices because majority of the people who have their kids in daycare get government assistance for that they’re very few privately paid people When it comes to daycare, well now President Trump has made in the bill that there is no more federal daycare assistance so we will see how long these daycare’s keep their prices jacked as high as they are 80% of their clients will no longer be able to afford daycare! Just give it time my friend America is becoming great again. You will see.

I moved my 23 yr old niece into our house to watch our kids. We bought her a car, pay insurance, bought her a phone and pay for that and give her $500 a month and it's still cheaper than daycare

My wife quit her job as a manager at Zales about a year after our 2nd child was born. When we added everything up, we were making about $70 less every month. HOWEVER....our son & daughter weren't constantly sick anymore from being around other kids who's parents didn't give a shit about sending their infested lil germ factories to sneeze all over the building. Negative behaviors that were learned from other kids eventually stopped. The fact that they weren't viral every week meant that either was I, so way less missed days at work. Best $70 we ever lost

I ended up not going back to work (55 years ago) because the cost of daycare for our two children was only about 10% less than my salary for a 40 hour week. I worked nights part time until the children were both in school. I was able to get a good babysitter for the few hours after school until we were home.

I worked at my kids' school intentionally to have their schedule. It didn't pay much but it worked out. I also never lived beyond my needs either. Which is very important for your peace of mind. Those who like stress, God bless.

Your wife, or you unless she or you has have a very high education will not make that much money a month or leave you just with a couple of hundred it’s not worth it. That is why the middle class cannot ever get ahead.

What does America have to do with your daycare? The US gave you opportunities to be able to work. You should be thanking "America. "

Many jobs can be done from home or different shift that has a parent home with kids. They go to school after a couple years & you get time to work day hours. It would be nice if schools had class time or after school programs for kids til 5 pm or so like they used to. Seems like school boards never think about the family schedules when they make their's. Half days & teacher duty days off reek havoc on most families. The board gets paid by student attendance & half a day is a paid day & why they schedule it. It's a costly choice for the school & the families needing to find suitable daycare.
