    That’s true, but daycare is so expensive if you have several young kids the wife might as well stay home. It’s a growing trend and it’s because of high daycare. Then as more pull their kids out the daycare goes up on the price to compensate.

    My wife stays home with our 3 kids. They go to school, but the 4 year old has preschool 4 days a week, and it’s only 3 hours a day. Pretty tough to work around that schedule
