But they hope that relief is on the horizon and that Zeno can attend a free prekindergarten program when he turns 4.

I honestly think the whole thing is rage bait to get people angry at the idea of providing free child care to people who "don't need it".

The idea of spending $900 on groceries to cook twice weekly feels comically set up. This is an intentially absurd portrait to paint and there's no clear narrative otherwise.

But even they should have free child care.

They MUST have free child care. And MUST send their kids to public schools. Only then will the systems be improved for everyone
