Default Re: Anyone else Anti- Day Care? Due to costs

I work nights and weekends part-time when dh is home.

I would love to have normal 8-5 job, but with the childcare costs I will be making like $1/hr after the tax and gas. The tax %% will be higher if our income will go up. I am sorry, I am not willing to work for a pay that low!

Plus, because I work only about 10-30 hrs/ week, actually as many hours as I want and I basicly make my own schedule, I have more time to search for free stuff, sales, coupons, sell on ebay, cook from scratch, hang my laundry, and even run some errands for other people for extra $$ while having my kids with me.

My kids never get sick, but some other peole's kids who go to childcare, get sick very often. It might be because of being with other kids, or having to wake up very early every day, I don't know why. My kids go to bed late, DS (3yr) goes at about 11pm, DD(1yr) goes at about 10. They wake up whenever they want. DS sleeps til 11am. I just notice that those kids that stay home are healthier. Does anyone have an explanation for that?
