Are we willing to give up an entire paycheck and cut our family income by as much as 50% in order to have mom at home raise the kids?

The real question is what’s more important?

No doubt, some families do.

I would suggest their priorities are in order.

Obviously different people have different priorities. What may be important to you may not be important to them. Priorities are not always determined by higher values. Sometimes it's a simple every-day-life decision.

Again, this is judging according to your yardstick, don't you think? Who do you think theirs' is in order and others' is not?
