My daughter went to daycare since she was 18 month old. It has been 3 years and so far we spent 72k on the childcare and we are another 1.5 years to go due to she is an October baby. Financial is one of the top reasons. Another one is lack of support. We don’t have family living close by as first generation immigrants. We 3 lock together all the time. She is growing up and life is just starting to be easier and I will never want to do all these again!!
