High child care costs leave Iowa parents with no choice but to pay up

"We pay more for daycare than we do our mortgage, which blows my mind on a daily basis," VansCoy said.

They pay $1600 a month for summer daycare, and $1,100 during the school year.

"What my salary was, minus daycare cost, minus student loans, I was bringing home, like, an extra $500 a month. Right, that's all we were breaking even, was $400-500 a month for me working full-time," she said.

But why aren't millennials having children???
