The woes of childcare
Nothing beats a mother that’s for sure when it comes to childcare. The U.S. is woefully behind when it comes to taking care of infants to toddlers and mothers who work have no choices but to put their children in institutionalized daycare. Rough. That’s not to say they are so bad, but I can’t help but equate what daycare to nursing homes and the difference in caring for your parent or your child yourself is enormous.
My mail carrier said her great aunt takes care of her 17 month old son, she’s from Honduras and feeds him breakfast lunch and dinner that she prepares herself.
We figured out a game plan for the near term, the nanny’s hours are reduced by 10 hours a week and T is picking up more hours in the morning. This at least keeps us at status quo without making us bankrupt or having to send him out of the house for daycare.
