Talk is cheap. I owned a daycare for 10 years and closed it recently because I was sick of the low respect, low pay and entitlement of parents. The burnout is not worth the price.
Especially when people think that putting normal people in the same community as jerks (and their enablers) is somehow a good idea.
Don't forget the parents that don't pay the child care bill in a timely manner.
I quit my full time job because my paycheck went to daycare. I was blessed to be able to do this because I have a partner who made enough to pay for the rest of our bills.
@@mericanmodi8479 Sounds like you have some issues you need to work out.
This country is an embarrassment. A pure embarrassment. No support for families at all. Our government is an absolute complete joke. So many things wrong with our society and the powers that be care to do nothing to fix it.
It's an embarasment but not in the way you think. People just want to have
sex with no precautions no strings and no plans. Then they want to cry to people
like me who was able to get through life without having kids for help.
@@The2ndFirst what? The woman who lost her job due to no child care was married. And believe it or not, sometimes unplanned pregnancy happens even if people are taking proper precautions. I’m sure you have nothing to offer anyone (financially, intellectually, etc) regarding this situation, so no one is asking you for anything. Bottom line, this country IS an embarrassment, and does little to nothing to help it’s hard working citizens simply trying to make it on a daily basis.
@@travelpro23 Maybe I do have something to offer and maybe I don't. Maybe I'm just a high quality man that doesn't want to waste my time and money on crotch fruit. And on the contrary; When you ask the "government" or the "country" for help you're asking me and my tax dollars to fund your flawed decision making process.
People lose jobs. It's a known thing. Plan better. Unplanned pregnancies wouldn't happen if people planned correctly. Bottom line is why should I and people like me support people who can't take the time or effort to plan their lives?
I HATED working in a childcare center. I didn’t stick to it because these kids are a nightmare. Parents don’t discipline. It’s a mess
My dad spends 1600 a month on my daughters day care. They don’t even accept vouchers and her wait time was a year. Day cares don’t even have cameras anymore and you’re paying All that just hoping for the best. Also wish part time workers qualified for vouchers so I could get one. The only thing I qualify for is head start and volunteering there with my son ik it’s a horrible place and they’re better off at home watching tv
if we didnt have to pay half our household incomes in taxes, parents could afford to get by on a single income and raise their children themselves..add it all up: federal income taxes, state and local taxes, sales taxes, property taxes, wheel taxes gasoline taxes, FICA (don't forget the percentage your employer pays there, thats money he could be paying you directly, a total of 15.3 % of your income.
Let's say you pay 15.3 % FICA. Then another 13.3% Federal Income tax. State income tax takes another 8.9%. On an income of $100,000, you just spent $37,500 on government. Then you spend an average of $2690 on property taxes. We are already over 40% of your income.
Chances are, You are probably paying a sales tax about 5.1% on everything you buy. You've got $60,000 left over, so figure out your sales taxes. Don't forget gasoline taxes: 18.4 cents per gallon federal tax, the state tax can be as high as 61 cents per gallon in Pennsylvania.
Keep adding. if you didn't have to pay all those taxes, you wouldn't need child care, one of you could stay home.
The government created the demand for childcare by making it impossible for a family to survive on one income. They created the problem, don't expect them to fix it,
Childcare professionals deserve more pay for what they do. But many parents cannot afford it. It’s a vicious cycle.
We have a sitter that we hired since my baby was born, coz it was still during the pandemic. She is paid average and while we want to give her more, we cant afford it.
Federal govt only lets u at $5K tax free via FSA. ($10K during the pandemic.)… We spend $35K/yr plus taxes. We live in Chicago. $35K/yr is not good income for our sitter either.
Then again it’s cool to see people properly taking care of their kids . Ik im not the only one who was raised by a grandma who sat on the couch all day .
Beautiful segment ❤️ this is really all over the world!
I'm a certified teacher who just had my so 5 days ago. I would love to play a role in becoming part of the solution that would also enable me to stay with my child and supporting other families rather than going back into the classroom. My only concern now is that I don't currently have the space to begin a licensed residential/ in home child care. Hmmmm 🤔what to do? Any suggestions?
Depending on the state, you can keep a few kids as a babysitter, unlicensed. In Texas I believe you can keep up to 4
So happy to be single and childless. The only child I need to take care of is myself. More power to those who choose to become parents though. We all need Amazon Delivery drivers in the future.
100 agree. We need more kids to die for our oil over seas
@@Katimashi "overpopulation!"
"war for oil in Iraq!"
Meanwhile, the Chinese government is constantly telling their people to have 3 kids per family.
I'm literally convinced you're a bot, acting on their behalf.
Dude, I'm going to retire in 5 years. I've got my retirement from my present job, a military pension and my 401K to draw from, not to mention my investments. Just out here living my best life single and no kids.
We have 3 children and have all that. House will be paid off by 40, we have a pension, 401k and investments. You can achieve all this with children.
@@stayathomemarine More power to you!
When the last said "who's going to take care of our kids?" my first thought was YOU!! You chose to have the kid you raise them not a daycare . I truly don't understand having kids if someone cant stay home, you dont need a 3000 sq ft home you can live simple and still be happy
not be rude,Those on social Media complaining about childcare costs are sooooooo EXPENSIVE,Should of thought about this before making babies,Not thinking about it when its to late,Its about to rise soon from £951 for one child, and from £1,108 to £1,630 for two children,Some ones got to pay this out,On top of other rising living costs,Not be to easy to cope with higher rising costs,People got to remember how easy it is to make baby 🤔
You need a whole FT job to afford childcare
I agree that there is a childcare problem, however, if the government steps in to subsidize it in any way, the industry will simply increase their prices and the result will be net nothing for the consumer.
Perhaps there might be some nuances in government regulations that can be addressed to help the industry bring expenses and costs down?
Child care desert. Food desert.
If you can't afford kids don't have kids.
You can't have an abortion though
@@trainwreck2100 I can't. I'm a dude. Any female that wants an abortion can get one though. If a particular state doesn't allow it then she can get in this thing called a "car" or a "bus" and got to a state that does allow it. At last count more than half the states allow abortions.
I bet you are a man.
@@catherinewilliams9680 and a dumb one
very well said there,Glad I have none
Not tough decisions. Impossible ones. If I need to care for my children, I don't get to provide for them. Duh!
Well said! He is an absolute danger to this country.
For the amount of tax that Americans pay, they deserve affordable day care. In Germany, taxes are going towards free childcare and education and it keeps the economy going! It’s for Americans to get up to first world country level of care
But but but but I thought yes one wants to work! How can this story be correct? If we are spending BILLIONS on immigrants and wars how could we not make childcare free, provide tax incentives for people who want to open daycare centers and make the CHILDREN OF THIS COUNTRY A PRIORITY.
People having children they cannot take care of is and always has been the real crisis. Bringing another person in this world shouldn't be a right anyone who spreads their legs can do, it should be a privilege of people who can prove they have the means of providing for them, not just financially but in every way.
100% agree. I don’t know why people think it’s a must to have children or even to get married. Do it because you’re ready and willing not because people force you to otherwise this is what you can expect if you’re not prepared financially, emotionally, physically, mentally, etc. having children is a privilege not an entitlement.
Gosh, that mom can't afford child care BUT LOOK AT THOSE NAILS !! were they free ??
She may have purchased nails from the dollar store or shein , and after practice , you can make your nails
Look like a salon
That don't count. Them nails GON' get did!
Beth, don't forget the fake eyelashes. Tax dollars are probably paying that large chunk of the child care bill
So hateful. If she came on the segment looking busted, you'd also comment negatively. My goodness! I hope you're not doing any self-care or anything for yourself that makes you feel good when or if you fall into a financial challenge.
KH, continued blessings, health, and success
If you cant take care of a kid and dont have a grandma to pawn it off on STOP BREEDING! wear a rubber you savages.
😂😂 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
They had childcare, but it closed
@@fortablet2933 that and illness broken bones and first arrests etc. should be thought about before reproduction
and didn't one of those women who's doing the complaining look pregnant??...so..the answer is to go ahead and have another child when you can't take care of the kid(s) you already have???...GENIUS!!
No one ever thinks about the quality of life these kids will have after ya pop out a litter just because it makes YOU feel more complete. Get a dog.
Why have kids if you can’t afford them? Women control access to who has sex. no sex = no kids
Sex is awsome but you do not have to reproduce. Dont pendulum swing. Condoms and pills are easy. Be responsible.
well said as well,In other words,They should of put something on the end of it before making babies one of most easy things to make
@@Katimashi theres other ways as well,Try not to poke the hole to much and get to carried away,I read enough on social Media,Amount of people complaing about childcare costs are soooooooo EXPENSIVE,They should of thought about it before getting to carried away if you know what I mean
