It’s more of a issue with childcare being unreliable and unavailable. Like there are no available spots in some areas for after school care. It’s very expensive if you find a spot and the care is pretty meh. The tax breaks for kids are tiny so you end up paying for their expenses in post tax money that adds another 24% to the cost. Then you have schools that only provide 180 days of service, plus only 6.5 hrs plus random half days plus random days of plus they your kid is bored because we have to teach to the lowest student. All these things wear you down, and don’t get me wrong you can deal with them when your household earns 200k/year but you probably need a solid 350/400k as a family to truly buy your way out of these problems. If both parents are making less then 6 figures dual income living sucks
