Why Is Childcare Pricier Than My Mortgage? 🤔

Is it just me, or does it feel like paying for childcare is more expensive than owning a home? I’m in Texas, and every month I shell out $1,500 for my daughter’s daycare—more than my mortgage! Meanwhile, the folks caring for her are quitting left and right because their pay is barely above minimum wage. How is it that I’m paying so much, but the workers still can’t make ends meet? It’s like the math just doesn’t add up. Honestly, I’m struggling at work because I can’t focus with all this stress. I’m not great at handling office politics or asking for help, so I’m turning to you all—how do you manage the cost and chaos of childcare while trying to keep your career on track? Any advice would mean the world. 😩 #ChildcareCrisis #WorkLifeBalance #CareerStruggles #JobCareer
