Right with you.
We always planned on one income.
It can be a little frustrating at times, but I would not trade the benefits of having my wife at home (where she wanted to be) for anything I can think of.
How many years in the military did you have and how many children in military child care?
I spent twenty years on active duty.
We used military child care centers multiple times as we moved from base to base.
#1 Military Child Care Centers are space limited meaning a max cap. Typically waiting lists were 6 to 12 months depending on age group needed and infant care typically had the longest waiting lists.
#2 Military Child Care Centers are not free and when were using them there wasn't a huge difference in the cost of the on-base center vs. off-base civilian centers was not that much in CONUS. OUTCONUS can be even worse as there may not be what we think of as Child Care Centers.
.
#3 The Military Branch doesn't provide the center, as in funded from their budget. It's the base MWR (Moral, Welfare, and Recreation Department) that runs the child care centers and they have to be self funding.

I ask because you describe it as "that luxury" implying that on-base child care is (a) avaialble to all, and (b) cheap [which it's not].

JD Vance's genius solution to high daycare costs: Granny should babysit more
JD Vance says he has the solution to America's crushing child care costs: Grandma and Grandpa need to babysit more. Way to snag that senior vote.www.azcentral.com
So, one of the ways that you might be able to relieve a little bit of pressure on people who are paying so much for daycare is make is so that maybe, grandma and grandpa wants to help out a little bit more.
“Or maybe there’s an aunt or uncle that wants to help out a little bit more. If that happens you relieve some of the pressure on all the resources that we’re spending in daycare.”
So, mooching off family members is the plan to lower the cost of childcare?
Seems there are a few holes in this plan.
The problem is that it’s ignorant rightwing idiocy.Progs caused all of this. All the social agendas that was the road to utopia. The solutions caused problems. And the solutions to the problems caused, caused more problems. And so on. Truthfully it costs more for a woman to work than a man. As the taxpayers get reamed paying for all of the issues caused from feminism that morphed into 3rd generation extreme radical feminism. Telling you the truth is not going to change your reaction to what I typed.
I did no such thing. I wish people would quit spinning what others said to make it appear they are saying what someone else wants to argue.
Nowhere did I ever argue, nor would I argue that child care is a "luxury". Being pro-life I believe child care is a necessity.
No, it's simply real life....out there.... things are not always wrapped up in a pretty package, for everyone....You are showing that you are judgemental.
Where exactly does it assume that? I like the fact that as my boys got toward 1st grade, first my Dad, and then my Mom watched my boys after school. There influence was good on my children and helped them understand how family helps family. I realize this is a foreign concept to those who would like the government to raise their children, ie liberals.Some grandparents do, some do not.
What happens if the grandparents live 5 states away?
This plan assumes everyone lives close by all the rest of their family.
Wait, it takes a village right, part of the village are grandparents. That is the part of the village I want involved in my child's life. You twat waffles really need to quit with the double standards, what was it Walz said, mind your own business? Walz was lying of course, just like libs always do, by then turning neighbors against each other. Vance is rightI kinda feel sorry for him....his really messed up mom and dad screwed the boy up....a real mental job on him.... Considering what he went through, he's doing okay....he could have easily have been the 14 yr old killer at the high school, with near same bad parenting background!
Grandma and grandpa saved him....sort of....
So, to me....part of him being just weird, comes from what he had been through as a child....
Am I showing my soft and squishy liberal colors?
The right’s unwarranted opposition to addressing childcare costs coupled with conservatives’ support of reckless, irresponsible abortion bans is further proof that Republicans are incapable of sound, responsible governance.JD Vance's genius solution to high daycare costs: Granny should babysit more

Why should anyone be forced through taxation to provide for your child care, we were not rich but we figured it out, surely you elitist pukes can figure something out without making someone else pay for it!The right’s unwarranted opposition to addressing childcare costs coupled with conservatives’ support of reckless, irresponsible abortion bans is further proof that Republicans are incapable of sound, responsible governance.
With Pentagon cuts off limits, the rest of it is nickels and dimes unless we stop maintaining roads and bridges. I`m okay with tolling all of them.You make some logical points, all of which scream for smaller government and budgets. Modernization and technology could also help offset a smaller workforce.
The Tenth Amendment became irrelevant 150 years agoWhere in Article I does Congress get the power to use taxpayer funds to pay for babysitters?
What this country needs is a SERIOUS movement to restore the power of the Tenth Amendment. At least half of discretional Federal spending is blatantly unconstitutional.
For the record, my Italian-immigrant in-laws provided most of the babysitting for my one and only child. Had they not been willing to do so, my wife would have quit her job to nurture him rather than pay "strangers" for that task. It's all about priorities.
Isnt that what he said? Unless Grandma and Auntie work for the Federal GovermmentHis response should have been "this is not a function of the Fed Govt"
/-----/ Me watching my grandkids on occasion, is "expect our parents to raise our kids as well. "I come from a family that has traveled the world and lives far from where we started and all live multiple states apart from each other or even in different countries.
We were raised to be responsible and take care of our own children and not expect our parents to raise our kids as well.
A new concept for you I suspect.
If Republicans are going to force women to give birth against their will with reckless, irresponsible abortion bans, they should at least have the political acumen to address the childcare needs of working Americans.Why should anyone be forced through taxation to provide for your child care, we were not rich but we figured it out, surely you elitist pukes can figure something out without making someone else pay for it!
