I didn't realize daycare was so expensive omg! I'm calling around and its $225 a week?! That's more…

In home babysitter. They are usually less.

or a private baby sitter... teenager.. lol. Sumner is coming soonish so

No teenagers but I'm going to start looking for a home babysitter. Thanks ladies.

Child care expenses are ridiculous. Good luck @gcpaschal

They truly are. We can pay it but we can do so much with half of that. Thank you!

Well... I work in a daycare... and the price is actually cheap considering all that goes in to running one... Even though it's expensive make sure you find a good daycare with cameras... I'm not saying home daycares are bad, but I know I would personally feel better if the daycare my daughter was in had cameras and was on a state based food program.. Expensive, but worth if

Worth $900 a month? I'm going to have cameras in my apartment. I'll figure it out. My child's safety is my main concern. I'm going to be concerned whether she's at a daycare, home daycare of my apartment.

Thank you though.

more then your rent!? where do u live?

I go through a state approved in home person. pay just under $3/hour.

In Crestwood, IL. My rent is $755 for 1 bdrm. We're waiting on a 2 bdrm and that's $855.

@lexij is that a low income thing?

nope. its just an in home daycare. but state has to approve their meals, snacks, set ups, etc. so its not just some weirdo doing daycare in there apartment. lol

Got it! I'm going to look that up.

I'd rather they come to me so I can put cameras in.

It's crazy! Idk how ppl do it. Idk how I'm gonna do it if this so called husband of mine doesn't stick around.

I just can't see myself giving up so much. Half of that ok but $900. Girl I think my blood pressure is rising just thinking about it..
