Default Anyone else Anti- Day Care? Due to costs

My uncle is always pestering me to go back to work. I laugh @ him because he (who's never had children of his own) tells me there's something wrong w/ me that I need to get out & get a job. It seems to me when most folks are paying $150 a week each kid I'd come out with barely grocery money if I was working my old job. Ya figure I was making $12/hr & getting about $735 every two weeks after taxes then - $600 for child care = $135 - $100 in gas to get to work = $35!

Sorry but missing those special moments in my kids life to put $35 in my wallet is an insult to me. No way can $35 superceed the moments lost in thelife of a child?

Anyone else in this same boat?
