[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Daycare is the cost of working split between both parents. It’s not a cost that’s only charged to women. Ugh!![/quote] Well, when your family is completely stressed out because of having 2 working parents and young kids in daycare, and you have very little weekday time with your kids, it starts to feel 'not worth it' for the difference in net HHI. [/quote] Some families are less stressed when both work. You really shouldn't extrapolate your, and your spouse's, inability to manage a workload and household to other families.[/quote] Yep. My DH and I both work full-time but our commutes are short (or currently, in my case, nonexistent) and our jobs truly end at 5 most of the time. Really depends on the job and one's ability to manage stress.[/quote]
