Day Care catch 22
I need to find employment, I also need to get after school care for my kids. I’m not one to just trust my kids to any old “Day Care” facility. When my daughter was very young, we sent her to a licensed care place in Ohio. She was one of only like 6 babies. They forgot to feed her one day.
We tried a private sitter, that sucked as well. Ive been a stay at home dad fro almost 12 years now.
I know many people would see no issue with leaving her home alone for a few hours after school. We are not those parents. Not saying she wouldn’t be fine, but there’s always that “what if” scenario in the back of your mind.
Because they go to different schools, it’s not practical to pick them up at the same time, even though school ends at the same time for both(Stupid idea that).
So I need to work to pay for after care and I need after care to work. See my dilemma here?
After school is also on the expensive side. Add another problem to the list.
