Same here. I used to live in NYC, but planned for a significant lifestyle change (move, job, etc.) with kids because I didn't want (and couldn't afford) to pay someone else to watch them.

Likewise. This is very important. It takes the full-time efforts of both a mother and a father to raise a child. The father should be out winning the bread so the mother can provide the children the attention and care that they desperately need. The benefits of forgoing some luxuries so that a family can be raised by a single breadwinner are so self-evident that it's insanity to willingly choose to do it differently (recognizing that some have it thrust upon them due to accidents or the choices of others).
