That's exactly why we made the decision for me to stay home, I did the math and it would be more expensive than rent to put baby in daycare. Like I would be working just so the baby could go to daycare.

Yes childcare is soooo costly 😩especially in MD smh

That is at the daycare I work for. Not private care. @spudssmommie

I pay $420 a month working there and she is only 3 days. If I took her there 5 full days without working there I would pay $1080 a month!! That is nuts and it is another mortgage payment!

That was the deciding factor on me staying home with our daughter. I'd be working full time and only bringing in an extra $100 per month. Not worth it!

@nykky779, so where is this 600 a month going them

That's where I am now if I didn't mind others ppls kids is open my own daycare

I work in the daycare and they don't pay much after they take out childcare, but at least it is something.

Yeah I agree but it's not even worth working since it's soo expensive!

@mrsmord,

I like it... But I like working and having my own money

that's why I'm a sahm
