- Xylakant 4y agoDidn’t work for me. Daycare is free, except for 20EUR lunch money per month. /s
- Enginerrrd 4y agoNo joke! We were paying well over $2,000/month for two kids part time. All the daycares have a waiting list that is months to years long and you can't get on it until you have a birth certificate. That's INSANE. No wonder no one my age is having kids. We need to start enacting policies that support families with young kids like, NOW, before we are really feeling the demographics crunch because in 20 years it's going to be WAY too late.
- ryanSrich 4y agoIt truly is obscene how anti-children the US is. We paid $13,000 out of pocket WITH healthcare insurance for each our births (since we never get close to hitting the deductible). My wife didn't get a single day of paid maternity leave (either legally through the state, or from her work). Then, once they were ready to go to daycare that's $2,300/month per child.
- midoridensha 4y agoThis is why Americans shouldn't have children. The government doesn't want you to (as proven by its policies), and those policies are presumably the will of the electorate. If you want kids, move to a country where the government policies actually encourage this.
