When I was a kid “child care” was either your grandparents or the neighborhood kid watching 6 screaming toddlers at once.

I’m pretty sure that doesn’t cost more than college today :).

Our standards have just risen massively.

Many parents would probably love to have grandparents close enough and willing to watch the kids while they work.
