You’re ready to have children, but the question is how can you work and have children? There are many options you can choose from, but the most common and less expensive choice is daycare. Going to daycare is a nerve racking experience and it definitely benefits the children so it should be an option for everyone. This is not the case though.

Katie is saying that the prices vary according to the day care, but the average weekly cost is about 200$ a week for one child. What if you have multiple children? Then comes the part of the scale. I believe that parents that’s income is $0-50,000 should be paid by the government because they aren’t only working a low wage job, but they also have other bills to pay for besides their child. Anything above that should be paid by the parents simply because they can afford the
