I love this! It is SO hard to raise a family in America, especially in the summers. Even now, when I finally have a daughter in public schools and thought I would be saving money, there are SO many school closures I'm essentially paying the cost of a daycare in camps and day programs. In October and November alone there are 10 school closures, 8 of which are not federal holidays, plus two early dismissals. How are working parents supposed to survive??
The cost and expectations of childcare are definitely unrealistic. I think it’s hard for people to fully understand the costs involved, especially if they haven’t taken a family overseas before. But after really crunching the numbers, I found that childcare abroad can actually be cheaper or, at worst, you break even—and you get so much more value for what you pay. Hang in there!
