You don't know their situation. Maybe they saved up money before having a kid so they didn't have to work. Maybe they make money from home. Maybe working outside the home would cost more than they'd make, it's very common for daycare to cost a few hundred per week for just one child. Oh, some child care can be subsidized by the government...so YOU get to help pay for someone to go to some crappy job where they don't make enough to get by on. Do you like that or would you rather they watch their own kid and the other parent involved picks up their tab instead of you?
Children are necessary for society to maintain itself. I'm not going to explain it to you but if you want to read about it, look up fertility rates and problems with aging populations. The US is NOT overpopulated.
IIN to hate "stay at home moms"?
