> spend all their time working to afford childcare so they don't have to interact with their own children.
That is obviously not the intent. It is a calculation. We come out significantly ahead if we hire a nanny or do daycare than if me or my spouse quits to take care of the kids.
It is more expensive to go the nanny route, but that will give us the option of being near our kids all day and interacting with them, which is very valuable to us, while still working full time jobs (we are both remote).
Every parent is trying to balance income, expense and best interest of the child (attention, education, socialization).
