It's legitimate to whine about the "high cost of child care". It's pricey. Heck, just the cost of having a job isn't cheap. The *largest* expense (and one never mentioned) is government - they take the biggest bite of a 2nd income with marginal tax rates.

So, Mrs WBill stays home with the kids. By doing that, she saves more than she could earn in a "needs-fulfilling, feminist-approved job in the everyday workforce".

She has more fun, too. She's headed to an amusement park with the kids, today.

No word from the feminists on that. They likely wouldn't approve.

If the people with the greatest access to resources feel that child rearing is too heavy a lift, what does that say about our future?

I come from a big family. My mom stayed at home, and my dad never earned anything near SUV money till I was practically grown.
