Per kid ($1250ish) or sum total ($2500ish)?

No kids, so... none.

I don't think the question was,

"How much do you pay in child support?"

The wife is a school bus driver so she can take the kid to work with her. She had a job that paid $8,000 a year more, but we were paying $10,000 a year for daycare so she was better off taking a pay cut and taking the kid with her.

Day care is long behind but I pay $800 and change a month for private school for 2.

Was this poll a) STUPID, b) DUMB, c) POINTLESS or d) ALL OF THE ABOVE?

daycare, i don't need no stinkin' daycare! tho if i had children i probably would.

It is more cost effective to keep the missus at home with the wee one than pay a daycare.

I pay $277/month for 3 hrs a day. One child.

$40/wk for "before and afterschool care" for my 11yo...sigh...almost over...

My kid just goes after school for about an hour and half each day, so I'm only paying $15/week.

I pay $1,950 a month for two kids. Highway robbery but what are you gonna do.

My kids are 30 and 31, so I'm finally not paying anything.

Oh, my disposable income feels so good. It weaves and rubs around my ankles like an affectionate kitty. I think I'll head over to wine.woot now. ;-)

Way too much for only two half days a week. The rest of the time we play juggle the schedule so that one of us is always home.

Nothing.....grandmas do it for hugs

Well, no real out-of-pocket expenses, but how do we factor in the lost wages from one parent staying at home with the kids?

We have built-in daycare. My kids are 22, 13, and 15 weeks.
