8k is not nearly as unreasonable as you make it sound. 157/wk is the price of a decent-but-not-top-flight daycare that many two-income families would be used to paying for to begin with. Certainly the income will be more than the median, but not necessarily as much more as you'd think.

$8K/year is on the low end of what it costs the government to send a kid to a public school. In NY State and Washington DC, the cost exceeds $18K.[1]
