I think in general. But of course I didn't really let her make a point, due to my "fuck you."
Out of curiosity, I went looking for NYC subsidized child care info. This is old, but still:
Families can qualify for city-subsidized child care if they earn less than 225 percent of the federal poverty level, which translates into an annual income of $26,000 for a family of two or $40,000 for a family of four. However, most families receiving child care subsidies from the city earned $18,000 a year or less, according to a report by Child Care, Inc.
Families pay a portion of the fee based on sliding scale. Those that make less than the poverty level (for example $15,967 for a family of four) are exempt from all fees and are given priority on waiting lists. Others still pay between $50 to $215 a week.
Jess, the place I used to work just rolled UPK into their full-day services. It just made it cheaper.
How could you live in New York on 26,000? I'm not sure I could live in Dallas on that much!
Semi-crappy neighborhood and/or roommates. I had several coworkers making $25K.
But then would you be married with kids?
Aw, look! Parker finally got that flight attendant gig! [link]

My parents had a roommate when I was born! But anyway, if you're married, you're more than a 2-person family, and need to make more to qualify for the subsidy.

$26k for a family of two is a single parent with one child.
[eta: In the context of qualifying for subsidized daycare, that is.]
