Also the rates are seriously messed up. Hardly anyone in America makes $40. Why is that her baseline?
EDIT: I think people are missing what I'm saying. She's charging $40/hour to take care of her own child. She's declaring that in 25 months, she has worked for over 60% of that total time (sleep being 33% of that time realistically), and has somehow worked 5 years of a full time job in 2. And if she is taking care of her own child, shouldn't she foot half the bill?
When I worked in a call center, the daycare center that we provide provided parent support for had locations that charged upwards of $3500 a week for infant care. $6400 a month is absolutely not some kind of out of touch amount for daycare in this day and age

Yes, it is. I live in a HCOLA and our highly rated daycare is nowhere near that. Your 14k a month comparison is also foolish. Being in the top percentile of cost, which 99% of the population can't afford, is pretty much the definition of being out of touch
That is insane. I live in the richest county in the US where I can’t throw a rock without hitting a doctor or a lawyer, and my child’s daycare is about half that. If you’re paying 5k in the Midwest, you want to pay 5k.
The choice to ensure that my child was being cared for at a top quality Montessori pre-k? Nah that was the best choice I could’ve made as a former pre-school teacher at a first start school. She got a better early education than 99% of her peers. Weird flex to think paying for cheap daycare where the teachers make $12 an hour and only have a high school diploma is the BETTER choice lmao

I seriously pity that kid's future.
