Mom demands dad pay for their 2-year-old to go to daycare when he's paying $900 in child support, and his mother watches him during the workday for free: 'The daycare here would cost about $250-$300 per week'

Many parents wish their kids' grandparents would take on some babysitting duties. It's challenging for grandparents to play a significant role in their grandkids' lives when they live in a different state or are too old to care for them responsibly when their parents are away. Many grandparents live near their grandkids, but they don't make the effort to see them regularly. It's a sad reality for many families.

If your kids' grandparents want to be a part of their lives, or better yet, take care of them when you're at work, you should be thanking your lucky stars. Daycare is so expensive in literally every part of the country, and if you can bring in two incomes without 90% of one of those incomes going to childcare costs, your young family is going to be well set up for your financial future. You might even be able to afford Disney World!
