Many glib statements are made here. It’s so easy to criticize from your office chair.
As usual with all bad things, the main source of this 2-parent-working situation is income tax. Not somehow wanting more women than men to work (as your reply correctly identified as a virtual non-sequitur).
As to the glib statement “don’t have kids” - sometimes it just happens. Do they suggest abortion then? Or why should they have to give up the child to adoption, for that matter? Or maybe just don’t have sex, married people. The 1 time it’s legitimate, but if you “can’t handle” it, don’t do anything that might result in a baby.
It’s all a bit too much.
As for this family, I actually don’t know the situation. Maybe they are welfare royalty playing around leaving the kid behind. In which case, indeed, they are very irresponsible.
I’d agree that income tax is one of the responsible culprits.
