My wife ran a day-care in the DC area. Mostly fed govt parents (dems). Most mom and dads had gov jobs. On fed holidays these same loving parents would drop on toddlers and infants as usual, 0600hrs and pick them up as usual 1900hrs.

Loving parents for sure.

Also, because women have joined the working world, this results in double incomes and the impact on living expenses is inflated because more work than previous and this is why a single working parent is rare now days.

My wife and I were very lucky that she was able to get a good job doing bookkeeping from home for the company I worked for at the time. She started after our first was born and continued until both kids were into middle school.

I cannot tell you what a difference it made for my kids.
