I think part of it is overhead and parts of it is cultural, basically people dont think people who are looking for part time work are serious about that work, or that they already have some other job. Buddy of mine has been wanting to work part time for more than a decade, getting shitty jobs and ofting having to switch, or accept jobs that were full time etc. But after his first kid employeers were suddenly much more willing to take someone part time, its kinda the effective case for new parents anyways, and no one wondered about if he had a second job anymore. I dont think thats why hes had two kids in a row, but he seems very happy with it. Its not really a long term solution, and studies have long shown that kids, in particular with you as a primary caregiver, has along term negative effect on career and salary, but so does part time work. And it might be a long term solution if your kid has extra needs. Though just saying that is probably alot healthier than munchhausen by proxy^^
