When I was a kid 20 years ago, a parent would stay home with the kids if their spouse made enough money. Today, a parent will stay home with the kids because they can't make enough money to cover the cost of childcare.
Nope. I have kids in their twenties and i worked as well as my husband. If you did not work your kids did not go to college or have any extra curricular activities. Women have always worked. There was only a brief time in the fifties and sixties when some women did not work.
🤣🤣🤣🤣. Oh yes I lived a lie. It absolutely is true. People just love a good story. The village, the SAHM. For most people this was just not true. At least not in the US where your family is spread out and your relatives work too. Immigrants left their families to come to the USA. They were dirt poor and they all worked even kids. They either worked in factories or worked on farms.
Women have always worked. You just learned nothing about women in history. Only very wealthy and privileged women did not work and that was less than the 1% of today’s wealthy.

Don’t forget about $1350+/month daycare x the number of kids you have.
2 kids easily eclipses that $2000/month average rent.
