We don't pay for daycare. Why? Because we have freaking awesome moms who watch our son for us. If this were not the case, we would have to put our son in daycare every day. Let's say it would cost us $100/week to put our boy in daycare (this would be an insane deal). I have the summers off, so we are talking about approximately 40 weeks. So let's do a little math:
$100/week x 40 weeks = $4,000
That's just for one year. I have been back at work for two years now:
$4,000/year x 2 years = $8,000
Being a 1.25 income family, we could not have afforded this without an additional income. This means that my husband would have had to get a full-time job, which would have made his schooling impossible. Not only is this a monetary blessing, but if we can't be at home with our child, who better than the people who raised us? A HUGE thank you to our moms!
