Daycare costs alone discourage me from having children

[Easy-E]

It can range anywhere from $250 to $500 a week PER KID

fukk that shyt

It would be hard for me to trust a stranger with my child

That's crazy

Forreal; what THE HELL are they doing for 4 G's a month? :aiwhat:

 

[Easy-E]

I honestly don't know or understand how some of these poor people keep having so many kids.

1. Lack of adequate birth control
2. And you can take a lot of things from the poor/suffering, but, not sex

Hence my unpopular idea of government sponsored reversible vasectomies and tubal ligations.

I feel you

I'm just uncomfortable with anything like that being handled by the gov't

BUUUUUTTTT, the private sector would fukk that up, also

If you can't feed your baby, then don't have a baby(c)MJ

fukk that I could never afford that. Have 3 kids and have never had to put them in daycare. I wouldnt even trust that shyt anyway. Weve been lucky that we had my mom be able to watch them for a while and also have work at home jobs where we been able to keep them home with us while working.

Need to look into that market. I bet some people eating real good of these costs

With all the single mothers out here...and the elderly having to work more and more....it's a huge hustle running a day care. And you know overhead is low and it's not like the kids are eating top of the line cuisine. Huge hustle. Just gotta be maniacal about the kids' safety.

Not worth it in Western society unless your Mom's or Pops can take care of it while you at work for the first 5 years of life.

Most Indian families just throw maybe 100 a week at most to their mother/father for pampers, lunch and mid-day bingo. Their parents are like 65 retired so there is nothing else for them to do bit watch some kids anyway.

Meanwhile Black folk we kick our kids out at 18 and don't tend to our grandchildren. And wonder why we lost in Amerikkka.

Childcare industry doesn't exist in other countries it's just for wealthy families. Only in America cam you profit off the working poor.

Stop having children if you don't make enough to comfortably afford a nanny.

rep worthy posting

200 a day? Its from 200 per week.

This shyt is about to kill me and my wife. The day care we picked out is 250 a week and its not even the nicer one around here, that one is 325 a week. What pisses me off is that some people get government assistance and vouchers for this shyt and we get nothing. So im looking at 13 grand a year out my pocket and thats just for one child.

People on welfare eat off "child care" like no other. You have a bunch a kids and have a shytty job, the city will foot all that bill so your child can go to day care while you work. Crazy.

This is why extended family is needed. If you don't bond with kids from the early years, then the kids will never like you. Dropping them off to some random child care and not look after them, you basically saying that you care about money more than them.

The American nuclear family role is toxic.

People have to realize having kids isn't a recreational thing. Children put a heavy dent on your finances and if you are not finacially ready to have kids don't have them. I want to have kids until I'm finacially ready. Having children is a wonderful thing but your paper has to be stacked right.

This is true.

I could afford a child but I don't want one lol

We live in a society where poor people are rewarded for breeding and thse slightly not poor are punished. shyt is

 

[notPsychosiz]

You are calculating how much it would costs to pay others to raise your children.
If you are discouraged from breeding, good.

Daycare is a nesccessary evil for most Americans where both the man and woman have to work.

I don't have any parents or anyone who doesn't work and can be with the kids 24-7. But I'm only 28 and kids aren't in my plans at all

250$ is baseline too


thats a g a month.


Unless a nikka making 6k a month after taxes or the household making at least 8k, thats the only way I could feel comfortable with having a kid.
