a little rant.
i was just reading my googie reader and found out a new organic daycare has opened up in our neighborhood. so i checked out the link just to see what it was about. esmond doesn't go to daycare because i decided not to go back to work.( mostly because my work wasn't worth going back to and i didn't make very much money because i was part time.) i'm sure anyone who reads this blog already knows that though. so whatever. probably in a year or two he might go to preschool. who knows though. i was thinking he'd just go to some church preschool down the street or something. anyway....the cost of sending your infant/toddler to this particular day care is $1750. i wish i could bold that number a hundred times because WHAT THE HELL.?!? i'm not really sure how anyone can afford daycare. jesus christ.
but yeah, so i know that daycare is really really expensive. i think what shocks me the most is that I STAY AT HOME AND WATCH MY CHILD and I AM NOT COMPENSATED AT ALL. at all. i am still "eating for two" because i STILL breast feed my baby which takes A LOT OF TIME. and ENERGY. and i do not get a paycheck for this. i also do not think that just "not paying for daycare/formula/nanny/whatever" makes it better. sometimes mom's that stay at home get the crap end of the stick.
