Seems to me that the city council’s response should be, if anything, to clear some of the red tape away from the childcare industry.
ABSOLUTELY!
People really have no idea what the red tape and the gov’t do to legitimate providers.
There are countless court records of state workers harassing, verbally abusing, spying, stalking and many other charges from providers.
Personally, I could write a book about the beleaguering the dept of state child care licensing is capable of.

IT will be if we elect enmass a left leaning congress and senate. We will turn into a marxist state that wants to redistribute the wealth of this nation and send it to other who did nothing to deserve it.

How about the “moms” stay home and raise the children? How refreshing!

Kansasgirl, I’m sure that’s easier said than done in today’s economy

Mom’s should work and dad’s should stay home doing important blogging stuff.

Anna. Is there something wrong with our economy?
You mean to tell me one income is not enough to feed, clothe, shelter, and provide for the rest of the neccessities?

The necessities yes. The taxes and luxeries, no.

You are right. My question would be why it is that the people who need childcare are looking to the city council to solve the problem. If they want to air their greivances before the council, okay. Maybe they can bring up some of the problems that daycare providers are faced with and find solutions. It seems to me that everyone wants to jump on the gravy train without the responsibility of taking care of their children. This is where you make the choice: who comes first? The children or the extra income that the job will provide. This is one of those cases where the greedy conservatives are more than happy to let the government into their lives.

The problem is that at least half the people who have children these days don’t bother to secure the skills and resources needed to take care of themselves… before having children.
Part of it is the whole “it takes a village” attitude that has been in the mainstream for the last 30 years.
Raising a child takes these things:
A father who is responsible enough to take care of his children, and mature enough to have developed the work qualifications to financially support a family.
A mother who postpones childbearing until she has the skills and warewithall to take care of herself and her children, and a man like the onedescribed above.

Y’all forgot something. Time tested child care givers: Grandparents. They have been babysitting in the past and all over the world. What happened to ours (grandparents)?
