Why is day care so expensive? If you had an adult who watched just 6 kids they'd make 180k a year which seems like an insane amount of money to make sure a kid doesn't stick his/her finger in a socket. If instead they made closer to the median salary then childcare would be closer to $500/month per kid which seems much more reasonable.
