Many families in the US still struggle to afford childcare, despite a decade of reporting and care. To address this issue, it is recommended to negotiate a fare date and explore alternative childcare options. One option is to enroll in Medicaid, which provides birth control, medical care, and food stamps. Cash welfare only allows for limited coverage.
When unable to afford childcare, parents can work from home, work remotely, reach out to family, seek family childcare, or use local subsidies. These subsidies can cover a significant portion of childcare expenses. Parents can also consider alternative daycare options and flexible work options.
To find support, parents can work from home, consider staying at home, let family pitch in, and seek local assistance and scholarships from nonprofit organizations and childcare providers. They can also enlist the help of friends and family, trade babysitting services, join or create a co-op, or split a babysitter or nanny with another. If unsure of their entitlements, they should contact local childcare providers or councils for guidance.

Yes you do. Most criminals come from uber-poor families. Most poor areas are riddled with crime and homelessness. You don’t have to be wealthy to have a family, but you should be before starting one. I hate and resent my parents for not being financially stable when I was younger. I hated having to take turns with my siblings on who would get lunch money for school that day. I hated having to wear one pair of socks for a weeks at time. I hated not being able to go on any school field trips that cost the parents any money. I hated not being able to go to camp or play sports because it was too expensive. It did NOT make me a better person. it made me bitter and resentful which I now have to deal with as an adult.
Its never a one size fits all. 1. Born into poverty 2. Spent my 20’s undoing the damage and making something of myself. 3. Spent my 30-35 paying off all my debts. 4. At 35 I have the net wealth of an 18 year old from a middle class family. 5. House prices are astronomical. Buy a house for 600k thag was workth 250k 5 years ago? Hard pass. 6. Have kids so I wont ever have the chance to buy a house or build wealth? Hard pass. Dont judge my life when you havent walked in my shoes. Your just another entitled boomer type who had things a certain way. Not everyone had what you had.
