I am a SAHM. My fiancee works and I do bills, kids, household,etc... When I was a working mom I was receiving welfare and they paid for my childcare. I believe they pay for it for up to a year after you start working Because of this article,I assume it's not like that everywhere.There are some working parents who don't qualify for childcare expenses because they "make too much" which is a load of crap. I'm looking forward to hearing your thoughts on this issue.
This idea is fraught with issues.. first of which is cost to taxpayers, then motivation to get back to work, then fairness to those that struggle but get 3rd party childcare done on their own. $35,000/yr to stay at home? It would be better to subsidize childcare and the stay-at-home go to work at the daycare.
Interesting. One good system exists on every federal installation in DoD. When you use the on-base child care, the cost is based on your income. Although this probably works because the DoD is a single payer healthcare system as well *wink* *wink*
Their 1st problem is they rented a home that cost nearly half the husbands income. The second problem is they got pregnant before they could afford a child. And they want taxpayers who live smarter to pay for their preferred lifestyle?
“Move to somewhere you can afford to pay your own way” is what you should have told them.
