Cost of child care services on the rise in the U.S.

[@Free_Snooki]

Kind of makes you petrified to even have kids. Like, if this is where we are now, I'm only imagining later. _:/_

[@ShwiftJustice]

Life is better without kids anyway

[@UltimatelyEverything]

@@ShwiftJustice How is life better without kids?? They're our next generation and the ones that will be keeping the world going when we get old and gray. They're innocent and just want to live a safe and happy life.

[@JasonDrvmz]

@@UltimatelyEverything Kids are expensive and take up all your time and money, it’s better to enjoy life without headaches. Besides women end up divorcing Men and putting us on child support just because she’s no longer “happy”. It’s a losing game, not worth it 👎🏾

[@saramae6065]

​@@Chad_Maxit doesn't work that way everywhere. And I think in most places both parents incomes are considered.

[@johnnypham2850]

@@ShwiftJusticeWhy?

[@cyberotter06]

Childcare was deemed a fail market. The government must get involved to ensure affordable care for the children and future contributors to our society. If we stay the path, birthrates will continue to decline, who will care for seniors and elderly down the road.

[@JasonDrvmz]

Young people aren’t having kids anymore, that’s worldwide

[@saramae6065]

The government will be giving more and more cash incentives to have children

[@chrisaycock5965]

Childcare, food, clothes, medical expenses, misc. expenses it really adds up. With the cost of living...doesn't make sense.

I don't know how Americans survive

[@ShwiftJustice]

Barely

[@UltimatelyEverything]

I don't know how any country survives not just America

[@caydenthompson126]

Barely or debt

[@Zelp789]

Meanwhile, they want us to have more kids. 😂

This is one of the reasons why I support abortion. Having a child is EXPENSIVE and the harsh reality is that many people can’t afford to raise a child the way it deserves. So if people are so insistent on restricting abortion there MUST be corresponding legislation that provides more resources to struggling families and makes child care affordable to all.

[@caydenthompson126]

Abortion is evil and not a solution

[@martinhumble]

With three kids I am happily living in Sweden where education, childcare and healthcare are universal and free. Paternal leave for a year fully paid and so on. It's hard for me to grasp why you don't have the same

[@saramae6065]

Yes! Exactly!

[@caydenthompson126]

Greed

[@LWilhelm95]

So do the child care workers, work for free??

[@martinhumble]

@@LWilhelm95 You do already know the answer. And, if you do some research you'll find that Scandinavia works very well. And, who don't want their children to be able to go to the university without being rich. To be able to stay home with your kids. I still have expensive material things. We're not a poor country you know

[@KYLOWW]

Another reason why having kids is a choice since everything is getting more expensive as time goes on.

[@jeffreybezak1529]

I work at a child care center. They were making 12 dollars an hour before COVID. To watch children good luck finding that after pandemic. They make what they should now and somebody has to pay for that. Sorry but everyone wants fair wages this is what it means. The fact there is no government help is the problem.

[@ShwiftJustice]

Childfree is the way to be

[@anaroman1499]

Totally agree

[@Ladybug1222]

I was blessed to be my children’s caregiver: My children had the most expensive extravagant childcare available: their own professional college-graduate mother who left the workforce to provide for them! Because the excitement and joy of the mother over tiny developmental milestones cannot be bought nor duplicated by any other woman!

[@Jeeps4evaandeva]

Where are the pro-lifers?! Why aren’t they doing something about childcare.

[@robertbolton9450]

Property tax. Water tax.

[@jenniferbombard8211]

No they are not. More people are home schooling now

[@robertbolton9450]

10.00 min wage.

[@saramae6065]

$25 min wage

[@robertbolton9450]

Independant young women.

[@seedsoftruth57]

Find a way to raise your own children one chance only

[@dag118]

Head Start program, free if eligible, sliding scale if not

[@mbennett7]

If you make to much money you can’t get any help for childcare…yet I’d you make trash for income you pay next to nothing. How’s that work …it’s a joke
