I am so excited to have another baby, but the visions of $$ going through my head are scaring me to death. I can't believe the cost of two in daycare. I wish I could quit my job!!



This is the number one reason why we can't have another child.Chat Icon

Re: Childcare Costs More Than College

Ugh....I just found out that our family friend won't be able to watch the boys once I go back to work in a few weeks.

We are SCREWED. I just started looking into daycare for 3 days a week.
We are going to be so broke. I don't know what we are going to do.

If it wasn't for the fact that I need the benefits from my job, I would quit and watch a few neighborhood kids instead.

It's insane...we pay over $30k for two in daycare even with a sibling discount. Chat Icon Chat Icon Chat Icon Chat Icon

sweet Jesu!!!!! that number made MY stomach turn! Chat Icon Chat Icon Chat Icon Chat Icon Chat Icon Chat Icon



Yup, we are at $22K and that is on a teacher's schedule 8-4, school calendar. Add in the summer and vacations and I'd be at 30K.

Oh, and don't forget all along... two cribs, two highchairs, both in diapers... that's why I'm the queen of hand-me-downs.

I believe it. Sometimes, it doesn't pay to leave the house!

At least I know we'll be able to swing it even if things remain pretty status quo. That, to me, is a bit of a relief.

Good thing Abby is polishing her pole dancing skills. As far as Zippy goes, he may very well be on his own.Chat Icon
