You can also tell your employer how expensive day care is, ask for a different position which pays more.
Not all families use daycare, usually because it is expensive. Many sacrifice certain things to afford daycare or to have one parent stay home. You can discuss your options with your significant other.
You're so right. I'd wager that at least half of the jobs in my city don't pay enough to pay childcare for 2 children, let alone rent, food, etc. There are MANY people who work full time and take home less than $200 a week.
