The Inequality of Child Care...

Our potential new caregiver showed up just after 8.30 this morning.

The kids were well behaved and things have gone smoothly so far (she even didn't think we were totally nuts for all of the kosher rules).

I asked her about herself. She's from El Salvador and has 3 kids, the youngest is 2.

I was saddened by this. 

I wish it didn't have to be the case where we are paying another mother to take care of my kids and, as a result, she can't spend time with her own 2 year old. 

I know the value of the time a mother has with her kids and in some ways, it's a shame.
