[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]A lot of the whole “just relocate and get another job” rhetoric seems to assume that there is only one breadwinner. Lots of us went through contortions to set up a situation with two jobs in the same area, semi reasonable commutes, a workable daycare arrangement, maybe even some staggered hours so we could share the load. It’s a delicate balance that took a ton of tinkering and even some sacrifices to construct (ie “not my ideal job but a reasonable commutes” etc.) Then some idiot blows the whole thing up and things we can just get another similar siowith all of those pieces. Darned near impossible!!![/quote]

The double income career kids (dick) model should be rethought.  It only works in certain areas that are going to be in the red zone for housing and standard of living.  Though with remote work it might have started to make more sense.  My wife decided she didn't want the career.  Can't blame her, but this is why we moved here, and I ended up with a series of sub optimal jobs, but now she has a job that barely pays for kids babysitting tuition and wants to move somewhere else.  We could have had a higher standard of living somewhere else without all of the traffic and what not.  The schools would have been better also.  The planets only partially aligned for us.[/quote]

In our case, we had telework and flexibility when we decided to have kids.  Now they want to throw us back into the dark ages.[/quote]
