But you don't understand!! How else can a family meet their expenses? They have 2 car payments for vehicles less than a year old, the mortgage on a 2500 sq. ft. home furnished like HGTV, the timeshare, the hottest electronics, club dues, complete work and home wardrobe for both, summer camp for children.....< / sarcasm>

This doesn't sound like sarcasm to me, it is exactly how people THINK they have to live these days. Moms need to stay home and make their children their priority instead of the almighty dollar and keeping up with the Joneses.
Yeah, no kidding. Its called priorities...and living within your means. Most 2 income families couldget by on one just fine if they eliminate the unneeded nonsense out of their lives.
too bad the "material things" don't include the child's safety.
but actually, you dont' really KNOW, do you? All what you just wrote is purely CONJECTURE.
Exactly! Couldn't have said it better myself. If they "downsized" somewhat, mom could stay home and be a MOM.
When my son was young we worked it out that I stayed home during the day and worked PT at night. My son's Dad worked during the day. That way, #1 we weren't wasting money on a babysitter and our son was always with one of us. Did we have the latest/greatest/newest of everything - Hell No. But was my son well taken care of...yes! We even homeschooled.
