$20/Day?! For Two Boys?!
"I need a babysitter Mondays, Wednesday's, and Fridays from 10am-3pm for my 2 boys (3 and 3 months). I can pay $20 everyday they are there or $60 for the week no matter what. Comment or message below!"
Saw this on one of the county buy, sell or trade pages on facebook and it just boggles my mind. To top it off, there are 6 (so far within an hour of posting) comments of people willing to do it!! That's $10/day per child for 5 hours of care...equating to $2/hour/child. That's less than my daily rate for one child...I think the worst part about it is that it shows the state of our economy, if that is all a person is willing or able to pay to care for two children, one being an infant. |
Very sad it is!!

I think what is sadder in this situation is that the person was irresponsible in her actions, got pregnant again, with a child she could not clearly afford. Really, because a person now has 2 kids she can't afford, why should she get subsidy for a bad choice on her part. As a taxpayer, I am getting sick of the people making poor choices only to have me the taxpayer pay for them. People need to start being held accountable, their poor choices not only affects them.

I guess my statement is more based on the "general consensus" of what I see on a daily basis and the way people use and manipulate the system as they make poor choices and expect society to pay their way. My apologies to this person, if she does not fall into this category.
