RE: "family income..."
Posted by dark_dave56 on June 7, 2021 at 15:12:55:
The math may change, but not necessarily the outcome. I know plenty of two-income families that end-up spending the bulk of the second income on child-care and "compensatory expenditures". What I mean by that is in compensation (guilt) for not spending time with their kids, they either buy the kids whatever they want, or just hand them cash and send them off with their friends.
In reality, everyone would be better-off if one parent just stayed home and actually played the role of a parent.
