It’ll take you that long to clean the shorts after you find out.
January 11, 2012 at 9:42 pm #1026965The day care cost will be the least of your worries! Who-ever has 3 kids under 3 is in for quite the ordeal.
I’ll with go 15 hondo per!
January 11, 2012 at 9:46 pm #1026967I can relate. I have a 7, 5 & 3. 18 months apart. When they were younger, it was brutal. Now life is getting much better, but the costs haven’t went down. We pay about $1600 ish per month for before/after school care for 2 and full time daycare for 1. Unfortunately the only place we could find to meet our work schedules are daycare centers. In home care just doesn’t work when we both commute so far away. Just for reference, we live in the Albertville area.
P.S. We also have to drop off/pickup in 3 locations now too. Added a half hour to the begining and end of each day. My wife wonders why I hate going anywhere on weekends…
I feel your pain!!

January 11, 2012 at 10:09 pm #1026981Been many years since I had to look at it but the conclusion was it did not pay for the wife to have a full time job anymore. Her take home after deducting daycare expenses if I remember right would of been about a grand a month. Figure in car expenses, gas, clothes, ect, ect , ect the little extra she would of brought in wasn’t worth seeing our kids getting shuffled around to day cares and all the stress that goes with it.
January 11, 2012 at 10:15 pm #1026982I have been interviewing in home providers all week just to secure new a new daycare provider (ours is closing in 2 weeks) and am having a little sticker shock at the price for two, one of which is due in April. I can’t imagine adding a third.
My guess is 20-25k on the low end…and that for in-home!
January 11, 2012 at 10:19 pm #1026983We’re paying about $16,000 a year for our 2 rug rats. We toured 4 places and got prices before we choose the center we ended up with. The only real difference we saw was price a the places we visited.
January 11, 2012 at 10:30 pm #1026985I’d guess a minimum of $1600 per month.
January 11, 2012 at 10:51 pm #1026989I’ve got a 5 year old and a 2 year old- $1100/mo. I think you might not want to be standing when you find out…. It’s gonna burn your
January 11, 2012 at 11:08 pm #1026992That would depend on what the going rate is for a arm or leg or both
. I am glad mine in now 16.January 11, 2012 at 11:20 pm #102699327 K. Do I win the St. Croix now?

January 11, 2012 at 11:49 pm #1027005We pay $400 per week for two

January 12, 2012 at 12:41 am #1027036Oh, I forgot about the dog….
Add another $75 per month for dog food!!!!!
Oddly enough, it is totally worth it!

January 12, 2012 at 1:11 am #1027055Ha ha! Are we talking a home daycare or a center? I know what one costs me and I am pretty happy with her price compared to others I know.
I’d say at least $30K.

Can’t imagine you would be a very attractive lady…..
Never mind, Oh red solo cup you are my friend
January 12, 2012 at 4:27 am #1027131Hell for that much a year I’d even do your laundry and dishes… Childcare is outrageous… My niece who is the same age as I am has two children (thank god Ethan is finally in school) but she would get assistance from the county when she had both of them in daycare, it wasn’t much but it helped.. She works crazy hours trying to make as much money as she can since the father of her children can’t seem to make any child support payments due to his drinking and finding his way to a jail cell quite frequently… I give single moms everywhere props for holding it together..
Luckily for my niece, her aunt loves her great-niece and great nephew and take them whenever I can for her..January 12, 2012 at 11:38 am #1027160Although I agree that prices are ridiculous, when I think of what those people do on a daily basis, I understand. Not only caring for multiple youngsters all day–feeding, entertaining, teaching, changing diapers, cleaning up puke, but when the day is all over, they then have to clean up the house, plan meals for the next day, and likely go grocery shopping. I’d charge an arm and a leg, too! Our provider should be nominated for sainthood! Thanks, Diane

That has to be in home care. Centers for a newborn are $300/week minimum for one kid. I know it goes down as they get older, but that’s just ridiculous. For that much money, they’d better be teaching my kid a trade so he can contribute to his daycare costs when he graduates in four years.

$170/week for an infant. I would say the average home care we looked at was around $200/week, though.There’s advantages and disadvantages to both, I guess. Cost at a center sure is a lot more, though.
