[quote=Anonymous]I use the lower income parent, who will probably stay home. You have to look at the cost/benefit of working if you can afford to stay home (or can't afford to work). Its not just about child care, but also about clothing, gas, and other work related costs. I used my income exclusively in terms of day care as once you took out all the deductions, take out $2000+ a month for day care, gas, lunch, etc. there was very little left. I don't look at it in this situation as a joint expense as regardless of if I was working, my husband was paying our mortgage and primary bills so I could pay day care or not count my income.[/quote]
