See, I feel like she and I have a good thing going at home. And even better when the weather warms up. We do a lot of stuff. It's not "All Interaction All The Time" but we try to go out every day, even if it's to the grocery store, and she has her run of the living room here so she has plenty of room to get into mischief. The child care wouldn't provide anything for her that I can't except for daily interaction with several children of different ages.
It's just money. As in, we have none. And even though my salary would likely go 60% to childcare, that other 40% would be that much money we AREN'T pulling out of savings every month. It just SUCKS to think that I would be working for that 40%, which would probably end up being like $3/hour or something when all is said and done. I hate the idea of being away from my daughter for 40+ hours/week to bring in like $800/month.

This is the situation I am in.
