Okay, so what's the alternative? How many families can survive on a single-parent income? Should we all go on welfare?
When one parent DOES stay home to take care of the kids, it's often because childcare expenses are ridiculous, and they're forced to scrape by on a single income. We're stuck between a rock and a hard place.
Yeah, I'm sure it would be great if mom can stay home and bake cookies for the kids while daddy goes off to work. But, realistically, not everyone can support their family with a single job.
