Tough to say, daycare can be incredibly expensive. I don't personally feel like they had a ton of disposable income so why they utilized this type of service when mom wasn't working...I don't know.
However, based on income you can qualify for assistance with childcare so perhaps that played a role.
From a financial standpoint, I never understood this because common sense would dictate that in a situation where income was meager and one parent didn't work - the kids would simply stay at home.
But again, you can qualify for varying levels of assistance with this.
Thanks for your reply.
I have a hard time assuming that the family income was "meager" and combined with the family's fixed expense's would therefore make daycare unaffordable.
I'd like to know the numbers before casting stones about this family's choices in utilizing daycare. JMO
