if you’re wondering why JD Vance doesn’t think childcare is expensive, it’s because his mother-in-law dropped her professorship to become a live-in nanny, as he believes “post-menopausal females” should do. he also suggested that otherwise, she should’ve paid for their childcare.

that woman must be a saint.

Almost 30 years ago my dad was seriously considering becoming a SAHD because childcare for my 2 siblings almost (but not quite) matched his earnings minus gas, and that was an employer-subsidized facility. (My stepmom worked there too but was an engineer, whereas he was an engineering assistant.)

So do you guys want to go back to work after giving birth or do you want be home? Can’t have it both ways.
