Drop kids off at a grandparent's place?

How you supposed she gonna do that when she's 18 with a 2 month old baby, and her mom is 33-34. And they both live with their respective mothers?

2 month old baby lives with 18 year old mom that stays with her 33-34 that is staying with her 54 year old mom

One of my coworkers has a 9-month old son.
He said day care for his son runs him about $300 a week.

It is not a game out there with child expenses.
I want kids but the more I learn about the financial aspect of it...I'm in no rush.

Its $160 a week in Miami, day care was never cheap, and with increased regulation people can get into a lot of trouble running one out their house. So the only option is to deal with a fully licensed day care.

I lucked out my homegirl opened her own center and I've never paid more than $20 per day.
