Almost $16,000 for two kids part-time at a licensed preschool facility. Two snacks provided, breakfast and lunch have to be brought by children. Midwest state in a little country town that is a ‘commuter’ down to a big named University. I literally almost wept on my firstborn’s first day of kindergarten this year. My… Read more

$9,894 per year here in Maine for my 3 year old to go to a daycare facility that stretches infant through preschool. It goes down a tiny bit for each stage but like $6/week. And from what I’ve heard from friends living in more populated areas like Portland, we’re getting a deal. I’ve been looking more and more into… Read more

$18,000 a year for a two year old in a daycare center + ~$2700 a year for aftercare (3:30 - 6 pm) for my first grader Read more

$16k a year (roughly) from 18 mos. to 3 y/o. Writing that final check was such a relief. They did a great job and essentially potty trained him. Read more

We’re looking at daycares now. The ones that provide breakfast, lunch & snack are around $1250-$1400/month for infant day care. The ones that don’t provide food are still between $850 and $1100/month for infant day care. It goes down SLIGHTLY for toddlers. I live in Pittsburgh, which was called one of the affordable… Read more

I pay like $300 a week, which is like $15k annually. Yay. Read more

We paid $8,000/yr for a preschool that only went until noon and didn’t offer any summer options. After care only ran until 3 pm and cost an additional $5/hr - so, on top of tuition, it was an extra $15/day and still didn’t cover the entire work day. IT WAS AN EXCEPTIONAL PROGRAM, but still.

Should we all share the insane prices we pay for daycare? Read more

I was so hoping that Homegoing would be on this list, and I’m delighted to see that it is! I just finished it yesterday, and so far it’s the best book I’ve read in 2016, and definitely one of my favourites of all time. What a beautiful, touching, and essential book. How every chapter is connected to the family tree,… Read more

Been reading this over the Summer, about half way through, it’s an amazing read and the depth of the story just barely seems to have been scratched so far.

So, male sexual fantasy = art (Last Tango in Paris, Blue Velvet, Wild at Heart, Eyes Wide Shut, Body Heat). Read more

Atl is a fucking character. All the time. My god, New York snobbery is exhausting. Read more

Not necessarily sure. Her husband works for Proskauer Rose, which is a massive global big law firm with more than 700+ attorneys. If Sony was a direct client of his, that would be a problem, but the mere fact that an attorney at Proskauer represents Sony probably isn’t enough to be unethical. He seems to focus on… Read more

100% of those surveyed who believe sexism is no longer a problem followed their answer, unprompted, with: “do you even know what it’s like in Saudi?” Then they shared a meme about how nice guys never get the girl. Read more

Ms. Clinton suffers from a congenital birth defect. As someone who was also born with this, which is so often stigmatized and swept under the rug, I think it’s time people start talking about it to draw back the curtain and draw attention to it. Let’s talk about it, people! It’s not disgusting! It’s not shameful! It… Read more

I didn’t write about Jezebel, but my BA-thesis was about BDSM in literature and it quotes a piece Kelly Faircloth wrote about harlequin romances quite a lot. Does that count? Read more
