Households with children ought not have both parents slaving away outside the home to be able to afford having children. Bring back the stay at home mom.
Unless you increase wages, most families can’t survive without two parents working.
My charming and delightful wife is a stay at home mom and has been since our oldest son was three years old in 1999. Our two sons are now both in high school (sophmore and senior.) She's home until the youngest is out of high school and into college. There are ALOT of sacrifices to be made to have mom stay at home to make sure the kids are "kept in line" and brought up properly. Not everyone chooses to make that sacrifice and our society is OBVIOUSLY much worse off for it.
Mom staying at home means we drive older cars, don't take lavish vacations and don't have the "best of everything" but we have things that money can't pay for: two sons who are fine young men of character and integrity who do well in school, choose their friends wisely and don't get into trouble.
That's priceless.
