    Imagine being stuck in your “I am the provider of this family” gender role so much that you turn down this kind of offer.

      Shit. I took this offer for 10k more than I was making and benefits.

        People underestimate the value of decent family benefits and the cost of child care. The benefits of having a stay at home parent breaks even way sooner than people think.

          Depends on where in the world you are. Pre-kindergarten-daycare for a toddler costs about 300 € where I am, so two working parents are taking home way more than they have to pay additionally.

            I would hope parents understand that spending time with their kids has value that cannot be replaced by money.

            I mean, you do what you have to to get by. Just don’t choose to spend time at work instead of with your kids.

                Are you implying my point is invalid if I’m not? That’s called ad hominem.

                Respond to the point made, not the person making it.
