A day care, which is a cheaper option than a nanny, is $110/day, or $2200
for 4 weeks. And this is a tiny day care on the low end (though I like
people who run it a lot).
That’s pretty much the entire income of someone who makes $42K/year
pre-tax.
How do people do it?
And then I see moms (and it’s always moms – never dads) dropping off ONE of
their children in the mornings, and holding on to another – which
presumably means that they don’t work – and their husbands are the ones who
magically provide for all of that.
Once again, I have to question my past choices. But I’m not going back
(even if they took me, which at this point is doubtful).
I can’t help but think that this is yet another reason this city doesn’t
want us here.
