@dlrjdg Yes, it does. It started with a government grant but became permanent. If you are lower income, it is even less than $250 per child. We live in a beach city in California. However, it used to be $800 per month (max). Our school district also offers transitional kindergarten for most...

@dlrjdg That’s a valid point, but at least with finances- At our school district, extended care is max $250 per child per month. Right now we pay a lot more than that a month on full time child care.

@sunflower232 It is really hard. Hopefully once kids start school it will become easier? 🤷🏽‍♀️

@naila Once a week- absolutely! Assuming your husband can manage being a single parent for one day. I would do it for 40% increase, but try to get it in writing so they don’t change it on you later.

@kezia How old are the kids? I feel like school age kids would be fine being at home. Also, going to add like everyone else- how is this not communicated before? If parent B works for himself, can he also just take the kids and have them play office? We would often join my mom at work and I...

@keepitsimple144 Dates can be rough- lol

@opinionsareopinions Well you will be in my situation- It is 11pm and my 3 year old is watching Curb Your Enthusiasm with me and my husband because after 4 hours we don’t have the energy to put her back in her bed 😂

@duke845 I’ve thought the same thing multiple times!

@margrethe All I can say is if I was in this situation- I would stay and try to make it work. The next few years will be just exhausting and mentally draining!!! I’ve contemplated leaving my husband a bucket load of times- lol. When the kids are that small, there is no relief. It seems like...

@msaved56 Gym with a 3 month old? You are doing amazing! I wake-up about an hour (5:45am-6am) before the kids, as it gives me to opportunity to get dressed, make coffee, make lunches and start breakfast. I usually work from home so getting dressed takes about 15 minutes, but I still change...

@laurie4321 Honestly- when I am in this situation I literally reframe me thinking to believe my child is mentally handicapped. I mean it kinda is true, their brain is fully developed. You would never hit or yell or push or scream at someone with a disability- right? It isn’t their fault. So...

@babszie In my experience, only time that makes sense to exercise is in the morning :(

@ryantgarant Or this new attitude they will make the US economy drop out of the global race- lol Well silverlining- One of my pet peeves is our government doesn’t care about families because they can always have highly skilled immigrants come and work. However, if our economy were to drop out...

@cins This has been my experience too with Gen Z, I truly don’t understand it. Maybe because they started working remote during the pandemic? However, I’ve had some weird experiences- once I asked someone to come to the office on a Wednesday, he literally told me Wednesday doesn’t work for him...

@margrethe Honestly, I feel like this might just be the result of being married to someone who comes from wealth. I have a friend who married a trust fund baby and she is always complaining how clueless he is. When they started dating, he was a career student and she had to push him to get an...

@infomommax I ruined my husband too- He was raised by his dad and mom who never cooked, only restaurants and rotisserie chicken. He came into our relationship with zero expectations, like I could have said I am making spaghetti every night and he would have been fine with it. Unfortunately...
