Im extremely thankful that my girl is able to stay home with our kid for now. My mom is about to retire and her mom is already retired, so my girl will be able to go back to work if she wants to. We both worry about all the daycare drama that comes up in the news weekly. We just don’t trust it. Can’t wait for our daughter to start school one day though. She seems pretty social, and loves hanging out with other babies.

Yeah I was paying almost 1600 a month per kid to go to child care and it was basically a day care where they sit around play and sleep.

I took them out of that and put them in a private school for roughly the same amount that had an early education center that actually taught them things. My son knew basic sign language before he learned to talk. To this day I have no idea how they taught him that…

He wasnt even 1 and could tell me when he was hungry, tired, needed to be changed etc.

Best decision I ever made for them. They went into PK-3 pretty much knowing their alphabet, shapes/colors, numbers and basic writing. They were wayyy ahead.

Congrats! I pay just under $1000 and I supply his diapers, lunch and everything-they do offer breakfast and snack so if he wants it he eats that too. My baby loves his teachers and they love him, I’m not switching plus the other centers are about twice that. He’s learning sign language and does a lot of activities, they post pics and updates all day

I pay $2100 a month in Massachusetts for 5 days a week. No lunch included and they have the gall to ask for $3 for pizza every Thursday. Can’t wait to enroll in pre k but the district mandates you have to be 3 by the start of the year and my daughter was born in November so stuck paying for an extra year because my kid was born 2 months late :to:

pay another woman to be the mother of your children, brehs
Lol i know what your saying but my wife makes significant money. If she was making under 50-60k we would consider it but she is over the 6 figure mark so her staying home isn't an option.

Was looking into getting a Au pair but it doesn't make finical sense unless I have 3 kids at least. If I lived where someone on here saying they paid 2k a kid for daycare then a Au pair makes sense but the price I'm getting is hard to beat for any Au pair service. That and the wife said the Au pair had to be ugly as she doesn't want a passport chick in our house :sas2:....take a look at some of them Au pair profiles :whew:

Thats pretty good.

Lets say in NY, women tend to leave they jobs for a couple of years, just to not pay childcare. Its like 500-600 where im
From.

I got lucky. I never paid more than 250 a week.

But the cost is crazy. And i cant even say it isnt worth it. If they do a good job.

I pay about $200 a week in Atlanta. We waited until she made it to two though. We would have kept her home but babies need socialization.

Here in Japan, school/daycare is cheap as hell. I could have both of may babies in the same school for under $900
:whew:
They will be going to different schools though so it will be a bit more. We still winning though. The base wants 2K per child.
:why:

Not for reservists. Plus my family isn’t on my LOA. Because my contract is based on the states and we are “tdy”, I get no real benefits on base.
