What are we paying for childcare in LA? Interested in a range of perspectives; full time, part time, nanny, in house, bigger institutions, etc.

My kid is a toddler but please share whatever context you can, TYIA!

What area are you in? We are getting much higher quotes

2200 for Montessori pre school, many was $22 per hour when we had her.

Nanny even and she was 45 hours a week.

WHAT I PAY IS NOT THE NORM, I fully recognize that.

At the peak of our daycare life, with 3 going full time, I was paying $1600 (total) a month. I'm down to 1 full time, and the other two come after school and they pick them up from school and I'm paying $1000 monthly. All food and snacks are included. There are no fees for early drop off (which parents can do at 6am) or late pick up (I've picked up as late as 730).

It is a small, in home, family daycare near Pasadena area.

It's a unicorn and I'm so grateful to have found it.

We pay ~$2100 for our 18 month old for daycare. When he was in the infant and younger toddler room where teacher:kid ratios were higher, we paid ~$2600

This is slightly less than another daycare we used previously and in line with a few places we got pricing from

Is my relationship worth it? Met my SO of 3 years senior year of college. Hoped we would graduate and start our full time jobs together, but my SO is unfortunately still in school (switched majors, transferred schools, etc). Our relationship has taken a big hit, as I am moving forward with my life but he is still in school and can’t find a job. I am also starting to resent him and he is turning more insecure. I am only 23, is this worth it?

Do you share details about raises/bonuses/other financial gains with friends or do you keep it to yourself? I have a few friends who will tell me everything from how much money they make to how much their husband spent on them for their bdays to how much their parents make?? To me that feels like bragging/being arrogant. It’s also the way they say it, feels very much like seeking validation to me.

Happy wife happy life is a really toxic saying. I’m just shocked how this has become the standard saying for men in relationships. I have friends of mine saying this all the time, and I have just thought it’s so cringe and always want to say my thoughts on it but always decide to hold back. However, imagine the saying reversed - happy husband happy life - that would lead to all kinds of uproar. To me happy wife happy life means I need to sacrifice my wants and needs to make my wife happy.

This is super weird but I feel like I can’t relate easily to people. Hear me out - I moved and lived in different continents, countries every 5 years or so until now… I feel like I’m an outlier and my life is super different from anyone else’s. I have some friends I’ve met at each stage of my life, but it’s been temporary. I feel like I’m always going in a different direction than others. It makes it difficult to have a stable life and close friends..

I don’t understand how someone can lie about loving you for 6 months. We were together for almost a year (broke up a week before our anniversary). I said I love you first and he said it back. I asked for more reassurance last month with saying I love you more often. Now all of a sudden he said he didn’t know if he loved me and that love meant marriage for him. Okay well great thanks for telling me this now, 6 months after it was initially exchanged. I don’t understand how he could do that.
