They want over 800 a month to watch my kids mon-fri for 8 hours a day. Its ridiculous. So how are us single moms suppose to raise our kids and have jobs when the expenses on getting to work everyday are more then rent. I give alot of credit to people who have kids and can make it. One day all this stuff will be taken care of and no longer will I have to sacrafice.
