The food stamp crowd doesnt use grandmom€”they get childcare subsidies to
enroll their kids at the best daycares in town. And even in a state as
welfare friendly as MN is, the minute you start working and earning money,
they reduce your food stamp benefits to almost nothing.

Even so, its splitting hairs to draw a distinction between parents that
use external daycare vs. daycare that comes to their home. Its exactly
the same. And in many cases, that college €œnanny€� (in the olden days known
as a babysitter) that comes over after school is cheaper!!
