quote:Daycare is dirt cheap, shite, you can pay 500 bucks for most daycare set ups. Pay a chick 10 bucks and hour and you shell out 1800 bucks a month.
what amazes me is how much daycare cost but daycare workers are paid just above min wage.
Now, something that approaches a racket is Mothers Day out, you can go for like 3 hours 4 times a week and they slam you for like 350 bucks a month...and you got a wife that aint making a dollar. I had that for four years, but she was well rested. Gave her time to pick out the right maid.

Never had the problem, my kids had a nanny from the day they came home from the hospital until they started school. They were never sick to speak of and always well taken care of. In my opinion the only way to go

I'm curious which daycare is pissing you off. We aren't thrilled with ours currently either.

We had this issue twice before. Once we just paid it because we weren't in a big hurry to pull him out and gave them the notice. The last place we were at was awful so I emailed the owner to tell her his last day would be the upcoming Friday. She said I owed two weeks tuition past that and I sent her a list of infractions they failed to mitigate while caring for my child along with written responses from her that never came to fruition. She didn't uphold her part of the "contract" so I didn't either. Needless to say she never talked to me again and I found out the whole daycare shut down a few months later.
If the place sucks and you can prove it, don't pay.

You severely underscore the social aspects of daycare that creates a NORMAL kid once they enter elementary school & beyond.
Kids with Mommy issues are THE WORST.

My wife stayed home with our child the whole first year. Ever since then our child has been in daycare. My wife and I could not be more happy with the daycare she goes to, they have taught our daughter a tremendous amount of information. We still do as much as we can at home, but the daycare experience for us has been great. If we are fortunate enough to have more children, I hope we have another great experience.

What gets me is weeks where there's a holiday or two, but you still have to pay full price.

Sounds a lot like how salaried employees are paid for holidays even though they don't show up for work. As with the daycare system, it's all priced into the agreement and just part of the overall deal. To put it simply, they aren't paid by the day, the same as salaried employees aren't.

I think this is the most ideal situation for families who can do it.
Stay home with the child for the first year, then send the child off to daycare. It is good for the child to get out of the house and good for the parents to get used to not being around the child all day, every day.

quote: I'm glad I have a stay at home wife. Can't imagine leaving my beautiful kid with strangers all day. Thank y'all for raising someone who won't be a worthless drain on the rest of us. Given the cost of a "decent" daycare, why would anyone who isn't a single parent go with this option? If you're not making enough money to have one person stay at home, you need to reevaluate your priorities. Spend less on nonsense consumer goods. Trade money for time with your child who needs you. Hell, figure out a way to have one parent work from home, or start a business of their own so they can take their child to work (what my mom did). Why'd y'all daycare people even have kids, anyway? Just to have some generally underqualified people raise them with a bunch of other little poorly parented monsters polluting their heads? Public schools are bad enough...do they really need an extra few years of feeling abandoned in addition? Just because *you* want to "have it all" and theoretically can doesn't mean there's not a cost. You're just kicking it down the road onto your child, who didn't get a vote in the matter. Shame on you.
This is, without a doubt, the dumbest post I've seen on this website.

I met many guys like you. The know it all arrogant pricks who make decent bank, look down on everyone else and think they have the perfect life. Here's what generally happens to guys like you....you wake up one day and can't pay your bills because your wife (who you demanded not work and instead stay at home with the kids) is getting the BBC while you're at work and divorces that arse. Not only does she get the house and half your shite, but now since you demanded she stay home you're paying a shite ton in alimony and child support while she and her new man live it up on your dollar. I'm not saying it's wrong to have a stay at home wife, but understand that by demanding she stay at home you subject yourself to getting fricked 10 times worse than if she were to get out and build a career and make her own money. I was a loan officer for a while in a previous career and I can't tell you how many guys came in that made great bank but couldn't pay their bills and couldn't get the bank to loan them a dollar all because they had the same perspective as you do. Good luck with the stay at home wife buddy, hope it works out.

Its obvious from some of the posts in this thread that several of you don't have kids and are too young and stupid to even know what you're talking about. (not directed at you Troof, just the last post in the thread)

I agree with you baw. All these daycare defenders are raising little feminists and betas

You should move to a rural area and start your own business form home. It's better for your kids
I guarantee you my son has learned more being at daycare than he would just staying at home with my wife. For example he knows some sign language even though he only knows a few words. My wife's career and income will also allow us to put him in some of the best schools in the area. He will have access to so much more because we live in a very nice city which we could not afford without both of us working.
I went to daycare. I consider myself to be quite successful in life (married, kids, good career, good education, etc.).
The people who think that letting someone else watch your kid is terrible, because they are the only person qualified to do anything with their kid are the same people to blind to realize they are fricking retarded.

: My choices
Go to daycare at an age where I wont remeber shite anyway. Doing this will also help my social skills. Another pro is my parents will make more money so i will get more stuff growing up like a boat or vacation home
Stay at home with mom at an age where I wont remember shite. This wont help my social skills. Mommy will be happier but my life will be the same. My parents wont make as much money so we will cut back on luxury things
So moral of the story, your kid says get your arse to work
