It’s a great idea don’t get me wrong, just like having multiple generations living in the same house to split costs. And it is collapsing in front of us, but what if your sibling/ cousin/ friend just expected they could drop their kids off at your house? Especially if you had your own kid(s) to worry about?
If someone was a stay at home mom or dad, and offered their time to watch kids of friends/family for a very small fee that’s one thing, but just expecting someone you know to watch your kids for cheap is not the answer either. It’s the EXPECTATION that someone else will watch your kids that I have the issue with.
A+ comment. OP just thinking they could dump their kid off by their parents or sibling for free daycare is extremely selfish thinking lol.
It’s literally how societies function. We’re seeing it collapse in real time where that’s not an option.
