Some are, some aren't. Mine definitely isn't since I have daycare-aged kids like your coworker. As much as I love this age, I cannot wait for them to be in elementary school. We're paying almost as much for daycare as we are for our mortgage right now.

Exactly! I was comparing the difference of that with mortgage repayments too! It's like second mortgage.
I know what you mean and it feels like we are wishing our life away.

Child care has hit a lot of families hard. Sadly, you can barely function in a 1 income household, but then to have 2 incomes, you have to use most of that second income to pay for child care.

With one income definitely it's impossible. It's very unfair for families,I think governments should support young families a little bit more.
