I don't have children.
But at my job, I see so many clients 'unable' to work, because they have a small child.
We can help pay for childcare [i] temporarily[/i], however, the parent has to pay after that is up. Many are not able to.

So they rely on/wait for government assistance.

I wish we had a daycare here.
I see some that truly want to work. I see others who just want handouts.

I don't know, child care workers need to be paid well if we want quality but that costs.

@curiosi right, makes me not want to have kids. I wouldn't be able to afford it either, despite making what some call'decent' money. It'd be gone paying for a place to live, food, bills and other necessities
