Almost every parent of 4+ that I know follows the same pattern: they live in the middle of buttfuck nowhere in a detached house in a low cost of living area and work remotely, while their spouse is a homemaker. Our whole team is remote so toddlers sometimes participate in standups and that is fine - they lose interest after a few minutes anyway. I can't imagine going somewhere every day and not participating in my child's development to the extent I am now. This is the way - the more we push people to live in cramped, high-cost places, the less children they will have and the sooner we'll run out of people able to work, much less care for the aging population.
