“I remember this picture,” he says.
“God love my boys [Beau andHunter], they’re a year and a day apart.
And this was a trip to San Francisco.
I was a single dad and I couldn’t afford childcare.
There was no way and I was a U.S.
I just couldn’t afford it.
And had I not had my family, I don’t know how I would have done it.
I would have had to take them everywhere or not go myself.”
But here we are, with a president talking about his childcare struggles.
A moment when you realize change is slow, when it comes, it’s easy to miss."
Anothertweeted, “This is such an American story.
No one should go broke to take care of their kids!”
A third shared his own story too,tweeting, “Personally dealing with this now.
True the majority of child care burden lies with women, but single dads struggle with this too.
Increased availability of affordable child care would be a boon to all families.”
