[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am not sure i buy the argument (for most 2-parent families, at least) that people "have no choice" but to put their kids in aftercare or else their kids would be unfed, unclothed, etc.  unless you are a really, really high earner, quality aftercare programs for 2 or more kids is going to eat up almost all of your salary. So you aren't really making a ton of profit anyway. Plus, your kids would prefer to be with you. Stay home if you can.[/quote]

It's also to keep a toe (at least!) in the workforce.  What are all you SAHMs going to do in a few short years after your kids are in school FT, or grown?  What?  What are you going to DO" with yourselves?  You cannot expect your kids to fulfill your existence forever.  You need to have more.  Look ahead a few years, and plan.  The early childhood years do not last forever and then what is left?  A hole in your resume and a whole lot of time to fill with. . what?  volunteer activities?  Yakking at the pool?  That is a pretty empty existence.  [/quote]
