[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think this thread is missing the reality. Reality is that if your wife makes 60k or less, it's often cheaper for her to SAH. Daycare is outrageous. The majority of people I know that are SAHMs are staying home because they are "kept women"- it's because they can't afford daycare on their normal middle class salaries. [/quote] Right and that's why I've told my daughters that they need to able to support a child and themselves alone before they have children.[/quote] This is short-term thinking; the real cost is not the daycare cost -- but later on for the rest of their life they can't return to work again because skills obsolete potentially /// even working and spending all the money on daycare may be worth it if there are 15+ earning years left after kids go to college;[/quote]
