She can't quit and raise the kids because that income is necessary for basic functioning.
Even without all that fluff, you still have lots of bills to pay that an average middle class income cannot support on its own. You can do it, but it'll be far from comfortable and tight enough that even small emergencies unravel your entire plan. America is famous for that happening medically, but life is full of fun random events like that.
Remember the average middle class person makes 40k-50k~ish a year. After taxes, and then rent/car/insurance as necessities, you aren't left with huge amounts to pay for everything else you need.
You're so right about it being possible but really difficult.
I personally did it complete with million dollar hospital bills and at times it was almost impossible. This was a decade ago, I would wager it's even harder today.
I wish we would encourage / incentivize mom's that wanted to stay at home instead of divorce.
Its harder by the year because lots of basic baby stuff just keeps getting more expensive, and CPS will make your life hell for not pampering the kid in some jurisdictions. Its just a whole lot of stuff costing just a bit too much adding up over time. When I worked grocery stores some time ago, formula was the #1 theft item by a significant margin because holy shit that stuff is expensive.
On a moral/emotional level I don't think anyone should have kids unless they can afford to have a stay at home mom to raise them, but realistically that would just end with nobody but the upper end having children.
Its called breast feed.......
I know this might be hard to imagine, but that isn't possible for certain women. Some have boobs too small to actually create enough milk, some just don't make enough milk regardless. Some babies will bite and destroy so badly that you are feeding more blood than milk.
Only absolute fools would be paying 50$ a tincan if the alternative was that simple for them.
I'm aware, as I don't have any myself and on a middle class income I have more disposable income than anything. Children are very much a massive money sink.
