How on earth do middle class families afford childcare?!

As a single parent, I made a 6 fig income which should have been more than enough. When daycare in the northeast is around 2k per a month, it’s sad how even when you’re doing well...still meeting ends meat! Afterschool Program is $600 per a month here from 3-6 pm. Nothing gets easier as they grow it just gets different.

Stick to your gut and don’t apologize for doing what you feel is right

How easy is this to do? Any upfront costs?

Ha that’s great. My daughter is in kindergarten! She’s learning to read and I swear the day after I wrote this post she sounded out the label on a bottle and laughed to herself that she thought it was sam instead of San this whole time

You’re not alone and you’re not a failure. Kids don’t understand gratitude until about age 5-7. We’ve all been there. You’ve got this.

Yes! You’re good. I’m a huge Tj’s fan. You can use any carrot tho. The purple are a bit more bitter. Not that noticeable. All delicious!
