If not perhaps it’s time for one parent to stay home with their child then
Children are only young once.
Plus most the “expenses” people have now days are optional not necessary.
I agree with Ariana 100%
Everything is a choice
Yup, people DO have the choice. You don't have to work THAT career just because that's what you have now. The work from home options are endless right now. My teaching career worked for my family for 6 great years until it didn't. Then child care worked for 5 more until it didn't. Now I found a new job that fits my growing family even better. Options are out there but you have to do the work to find them and make them work for your needs and your kids' needs. Sometimes dropping your kid off at daycare is the easiest. Doesn't mean it's the best. We're not in a job shortage right now,you can find what works for your family.
