Need a little reassurance! :)

You are too kind Kidlove ... when she goes to Walmart to buy clothes do they give her a 'discount on the second kid' for the clothes, when she has to buy car seats does she get a discount? If she has to get them passports, at the grocery store, buying diapers, signing up for sports ... I could keep going and going for ya but the point is that THEY CHOSE TO HAVE A SECOND KID ... why should YOU pay the price for that choice?

Two spaces in my program cost the SAME regardless of if you are related ~ I do not do sibling discounts because the reality is that siblings are a HIGHER RISK ... when they leave your income suddenly drops 2/5 and that is a HUGE amount to suddenly be out. Not to mention that it does not cost me LESS to provide care to them so giving a discount means a direct LOSS OF INCOME for me .... what makes THEIR finanical need for a discount greater than MY need for a viable income? Specially PART TIME you are already likely loosing income serving them when you cannot off set their other days WHY would you volunteer to loose MORE!

Honestly this is going to sound harsh but I honestly do not care .... IMO if you cannot afford daycare for TWO children do not HAVE TWO CHILDREN ... plan and simple! Why should the rest of society PAY for your choice????

Seriously I do not have children of my own ~ and the reason is that when I was young 18 I found out I already had stage 4 endometriosis and the Dr's told me ' if you want to have a baby better do it soon cause every month your chance of getting pregnant diminishes ... a horrible 'chose' to make at such a young age but I CHOSE TO BE RESPONSIBLE CITIZEN and not bring a child into the world that would have resulted in me having to be a leach on the social services because I had not been living with a parent since I was 16, I was still single, still in high school and not in a position to AFFORD a kid and not about to bring one into the world because there was a risk if I waited too long I might never ... and sadly by the time I WAS in a position to be in a committed relationship and good financial place my window had closed and I was indeed infertile ... the environment was so hostile even my 'eggs' where not able to be harvested to try surgery or other options .... so I will admit that I can be a little 'bitchy' having to listen to people WHINE about the cost of having children ~ they are a BLESSING and you CHOSE to have them so you figure out how to make them a priority and either STAY HOME and raise them or INVEST IN QUALITY CARE of someone else to do it for you ... you do not 'cheap out' on childcare cause it is the most important investment you are making!
