My Wife got a Job Today!

[Starscream]

Praise report! After nine years at home of being a homemaker/housewife/mother of three children, my wife finally got a full-time job. She is the new director of the Wee-Care Childcare Program at First Baptist Church in our town. I'm so proud of her. She's been a substitute teacher for the last two months and that hasn't paid enough to cover the cost of childcare for our three children. Her getting this job is a finiancial blessing for us right now.

Childcare is crazy ain't it? My wife was a daycare teacher just before our son was born, her monthly pay was almost exactly what it would cost to send the boy to daycare there, even with a discount. What I don't understand is she was responsible for up to 10 kids, so the labor cost must only be ~10% of the monthly bill... where the hell does the other 90% go!? I understand there are overhead costs, but 90%?!

Daycare costs are not as bad in my town as it is in many cities, but still it's a high cost. Especially w/ three kids. We have one child in all day care, and two in after school care. Good news is my wife only has to pay half the cost on the youngest now that she is employed at his daycare.
