      The cost and inaccessibility of childcare is pushing American parents, mostly moms, out of the labor force http://bit.ly/2j5aQXP

      Women in lower-paid professions who have small children literally can't afford to work.

      It creates a lot of resentment - towards the society forcing them into a stay-at-home role they don't want, and worse, towards their kids.

      It also places a huge burden on (mostly older) relatives - grandparents, aunts & uncles, etc. - who look after the kids so parents can work.

      There are some people who like it this way, because they think it's better for kids to be home with a parent than in day care.

      Group care is way better for kids than bring home with a resentful, depressed parent who's pressured to feel "grateful" for staying home.

          Particularly after they've had to quit their job. Dealing with reduced household income on top of everything else is just extra shitty.

          plus the difficulties and < salary with re-entering the workplace after a long absence if you wait until kids are in school

          I LOVE my kid but my husband and I joke that I would be the worst stay-at-home Mom ever.
