Both parents have to work , in most families, just to make ends meet. Very common for little kids to be in daycare/preschool for that purpose. Guess you never had to worry about where junior’s next meal came from.
I worked a full time job and as much over time as I could wife stayed home. Home schooled and raised the children.
Sorry it doesn’t cut the mustard with me.
It is all about good and proper money management.
Spend less have more
