@daryle I have a graduate degree and worked in management prior to losing our childcare during early covid. We had 2 kids then, and I’m now pregnant with #4. We’re happier than ever, although obviously it was a huge change for everyone, not just financially. I’d always dreamt of being a SAHM but never thought it would play out for us, and then it was forced on us. At this point I truly don’t know how or when I’ll be able to go back to work; most daycares in our area still aren’t even taking kids on the waitlist, let alone having spots available. Our oldest is already in extracurriculars, and it’s just constant THINGS, never mind trying to keep a house running and people fed. My husband works a ton but is a huge help when he’s home, and I’m incredibly grateful and lucky.
