- They are too busy coddling terrorists -- nm - The Calico Cat Coalition Oct 24, 12:03
- McCain just isn't very popular within his own party. -- nm - David Oct 24, 12:02 16
  - The conservatives don't trust him because he's "a maverick" and moderate who didn't fall into rank and file with the far right. The moderates don't - pmb Oct 24, 12:22

speaking of daycare - my friend who just had the twins, had her kids on a waiting list for a good daycare near her house before they were born. - Danger Girl Oct 24, 11:59 43
- I'm just realizing, I need to become a day care operator in Canada. - Will Hunting Oct 24, 12:07 3
  - for two kids remember. -- nm - Danger Girl Oct 24, 12:08 2
    - Even still. Just for comparisons sake, I bring home about 35k a year - Will Hunting Oct 24, 12:10 1
      - i know, it's crazy. that's my point. -- nm - Danger Girl Oct 24, 12:11
- I think the most we ever paid for daycare was $70 a week -- nm - amoxy Oct 24, 12:05
- We pay $28/day. And I *had* daycare before he was born, but got dropped. (oh, and a daycare saga update!) - Amy Oct 24, 12:03 6
  - Wow. That's extremely cheap. We pay $225 per month to a real nice place imo, and that's *very* cheap for our area. Most are in the $300-$500 range. -- nm - Don Homer Oct 24, 12:05 4
    - $140 per week, so closer to $600 per month. -- nm - Spawn Oct 24, 12:06
    - Err.. I mean $225 per week. -- nm - Don Homer Oct 24, 12:06 1
      - I was about to say...holy crap! -- nm - HdnAgnda Oct 24, 12:15
    - per week? -- nm - TFox Oct 24, 12:05
  - "Once again Lil Logan, you see that there is nothing you can possess that I cannot take away" -- nm - pixie fierce Oct 24, 12:05
- $160 per day is fucking psycho, I'm sorry. -- nm - TFox Oct 24, 12:01 12
  - they don't have money. that's just what it costs. pretty much everywhere. - Danger Girl Oct 24, 12:02 11
    - They're paying $3,200 a month in day care? One of them is better off working from home. -- nm - David Oct 24, 12:04 3
      - they aren't yet. the twins are still at home. but that is the outright cost when she goes back to work in July. - Danger Girl Oct 24, 12:06 2
        
        Or, if not cheaper, at least not much more expensive and way nicer for the kids, right? -- nm - TFox Oct 24, 12:08 1
        
        Exactly. Plus, nanny threesomes! -- nm - David Oct 24, 12:08
    - I can't imagine any moms work in Toronto. I sure as shit don't make $800 a week. Might as well stay home. -- nm - TFox Oct 24, 12:02 6
      - Yeah, but many women want kids and a career. -- nm - budice Oct 24, 12:03 5
        
        at that rate, you're paying to work. -- nm - loosilu Oct 24, 12:05 3
        
        I work just for health insurance for everyone. I pay for that, groceries and my car. -- nm - Amy Oct 24, 12:07 2
        
        You pay for more than that, silly. -- nm - Spawn Oct 24, 12:08
        
        in Canada they have insurance. other than that, this woman could be paying more than she earns. -- nm - loosilu Oct 24, 12:08
        
        But like, so they can have some money, right? Not just to have some shit to do? - TFox Oct 24, 12:05
- $80 per day per kid!?! Do you mean pesos??? -- nm - Spawn Oct 24, 12:01 1
  - i do not. -- nm - Danger Girl Oct 24, 12:01
- $100 per month per kid...but $80 is insane -- nm - Beaker Oct 24, 12:00 9
  - Even Cletus the yokel would charge more than $100/month. -- nm - Don Homer Oct 24, 12:03 2
    - he's talking about our 'baby bonus' money you get from the government, but the assistance i was talking about is on top of that. - Danger Girl Oct 24, 12:04 1
      - That must be why the charges are so high. -- nm - Amy Oct 24, 12:08
  - $100 per month per kid!?! That is crazier than $80 per day!!! -- nm - Spawn Oct 24, 12:02
  - standard here. it's crazy. -- nm - Danger Girl Oct 24, 12:01 4
    - How willing is your friend to learn French? -- nm - Five-dollar-a-day Mop Oct 24, 12:05 3
      - she speaks it (and italian!) :) why? -- nm - Danger Girl Oct 24, 12:07 2
        
        Don't they still have five-dollar-a-day daycare in Quebec? -- nm - Mop Oct 24, 12:10 1
        
        they might. quebec is way more family focussed than ontario i believe. -- nm - Danger Girl Oct 24, 12:11
- um, wow -- nm - budice Oct 24, 12:00 5
  - Oh, my boss also mentioned be spends $3,000/mo on daycare for his 1yo -- nm - budice Oct 24, 12:01 2
    - honestly, is any kid really worth that much? - pixie fierce Oct 24, 12:03
    - No way. $150 per day? We pay that per week. -- nm - Spawn Oct 24, 12:03
  - she has other options of course, but toronto is lacking in good day care spaces and she was just so worried she'd not get a good one. -- nm - Danger Girl Oct 24, 12:00 1
    - at some point it's cheaper not to work. -- nm - loosilu Oct 24, 12:01
"Hell yeah." -- nm - Spawn Oct 24, 11:59
"I was asking random people in Target where they take their kids" - pixie fierce Oct 24, 11:57 1
- Some random person asked me that just the other day. "You're son is so cute. Where do you take him for daycare?" Happy kids are stalked I tell you. -- nm - Amy Oct 24, 12:05
