Reply #85: I'm gonna ask...what kind of decent day care does one receive for [View All]

[tnlefty]

$50 bucks per week? I'm not really sure that I want to know because the price of day care for my first was enough for me to stay home. He was a preemie, had some meds to take and he was on an apnea monitor and the cost per week for him was going to be $300/week because he was a "high needs" infant. Most of the parents that I knew then were paying much more than $50/wk and still had problems with their day care providers.

Now, please explain to me what happens to parents who are working for $10/hr. or minimum wage, or slightly higher wages could afford this especially if they don't have health insurance to help with the hospital costs of having the misfortune to go into labor early?
