My husband and I started looking into day care for when we have our baby in April because I know how wait lists can get. It's $300 a WEEK for an infant!! That's a mortgage for the month!! It's so outrageous and I don't even feel comfortable leaving a newborn in day care but my mom is only 58 so she's not even close to retiring. I just don't even know what to do about it because we can't afford me staying home for a year. Any creative ideas or where to get assistance in paying for it? The sad part is we probably make too much to be eligible for assistance.
