Vance suggested that families could alleviate daycare pressure by having grandparents or other relatives provide childcare. "Maybe grandma or grandpa wants to help out a little bit more, or maybe there's an aunt or uncle that wants to help out a little bit more," he said. This approach is seen as a means to potentially lower the financial burden of childcare, which currently consumes a significant portion of family income.
In a follow-up post, Vance acknowledged that not all families have the option for relatives to step in for childcare. He stated, "Parents or grandparents might not be able to help, but they might want to, and for those families, federal policy should not be forcing one particular family model." He seems to advocate for a more flexible approach to childcare support.
