MY GOD CHILDCARE IS EXPENSIVE.
We just put the little podling in daycare. A nice montessori with bright looking kids, the thing that sold me was a little girl about ours age that had on a t-shrit saying “im with the band”.
We looked at 5 daycare centers today. Marijo looked talked with the providers and I sat quietly and watched the children. Some of the children looked like the chimps I have seen in psych videos, less the chicken wire monkey. We passed on those. Some of the centers were so packed with kids I could only think of feedlots. Don’t parents shop around? Sheesh. Anyway it’s $995 a month, at that rate 1 year is more than I spent on my university education. I heard from Marijo’s brother that I can get it paid for pretax in some states. I need to look into that.
