“if i didn’t have the resources to have a kid, I wouldn’t have one”.
huh.
very fiscally prudent of you.
not reality for america though. everyone buys kids on credit! almost all young people start out basically broke, struggling, just piecing it together. the woman or dude can stay home, and that relieves alot, but not all of the headaches.
wife staying home simply wasn’t an option in that time frame. Not money -wise, just professionally, she just wasn’t going to do it.
man i don’t even need day care right now and just thinking about my experience is getting me stressed out.
i always tell younger couples, people, start getting on wait lists way before you think about getting pregnant. IN fact, expect complete chaos unless you ahve strong family support, lost of cash or can swing a sta-at-home spouse. I always tell them without that, IT IS NOT GOING TO BE OK and children under these kind of circumstances may trigger extreme marital strife or even possibly divorce.
I know when you are as dependent on day care as you are, or were ,scaredy it can be difficult and was difficult. The idea or question, keeping in mind that what you are saying about quality and availability being difficult at times is true,is “why stay dependent on daycare”? I think that most two parent families capable of paying for daycare are capable of making it taking care of their own kids. Maybe not though, and if not, that situation is what we should direct our attention at as much as any.
