Hello.

I am currently pregnant.
I am trying to figure out what to do about work and life once the baby is born.

I am looking for day care for Infant, but it is cheap, like $1800.
How is everyone doing ？

I work with a co-worker and make a normal salary, but after paying rent as well, I have very little money left.
If it is so expensive, I wonder if I should take some time off and be a housewife, or move to the mainland with my husband's family.

I would like to continue working if possible because I am doing the work I want to do in Hawaii and I want to be financially independent without depending on my husband's earnings.
I would like to know about any kind of day care cost assistance, cheap day care, how you all are doing it, anything.

Thank you in advance.

Infant care itself is expensive
because of the work involved.
Have you discussed this with your husband ？

I know what you are thinking, but
your children are your two.
It may be a good idea to talk to each other's employers and work shorter hours or
reduce the amount of time you leave your child with them to a minimum. There are places within the hospital where you can talk to them about this.
If you think about it now,
there is a better way for you and your husband.
Good luck.

My son is big now, so this is a long time ago, but
I started working with a sitter when my son was 3 months old.

I was not sure about it, but I didn't want to lose my job position and for my living.
With only one horsepower of my husband, our life is up and up.
Because a temporary return to Japan is a dream.

At that time, the cheapest place for a 3-month-old infant was $ 1200
so I asked a nanny who took care of many infants in her house in Kahala.
At that time, we brought our own milk and diaper $ 700.

Some people are worried about sitters, but
our family was very helpful.
I think you can visit any of them.
Even after we started preschool, we also had a one-time sitter during the summer and school vacations. Please refer to this as one idea.
