How do you have a kid and still pay all your bills? You either have to earn enough or have one parent stay at home. It's not 'living off of someone' if your contribution is worth what it would cost to hire a babysitter, maid, chef and accountant. It's also not your call to say someone is living off someone else...some people hold the value that says I won't have kids unless me or my SO can stay home with them. Those are the people who have an issue with you...the people who decided what's right for their life whether it's moral or financial. Where do you get off declaring that to be wrong or usury?
It wouldn't work that way. Part time jobs generally don't have benefits which are crucial if you have a family. Then you're also talking day care which could easily eat up your entire salary. Or if the parents work opposite days/shifts, but then the family is never all together...what's the point? And then both parents have to work AND share housework 50/50? Who the fuck wants to do that especially if the financial side doesn't add up? For many families, doing this would cost too much in money, quality time, stress, losing health coverage, etc.
IIN to hate "stay at home moms"?

Okay makes sense, so why not both couples share responsibilities and then the other one would only have to work half as hard at a job!
