I was thrilled to read the first post because I feel exactly the same way. I often experience a strange kind of passive acceptance existing within the ranks of those working in the childcare industry that baffles me. It is bizarre to hear underpaid women make excuses for the economic injustices that exist in this industry. I know for a fact that the corporate childcare industry is charging the parents a hefty price and pocketing most of the profits at the highest level. The wages for the people who do the actual real work of childcare are kept at poverty level or barely above it. That does not surprise me. What surprises me is how many women are willing to passively accept it, defend the corporations, attempt to belittle the women who complain about it, and perpetuate the female ghetto with their mild mannered, "I dont deserve more" attitude. It was refreshing to finally see a post that challenges the status quo. Name: Email: Subject
