Yeah, I certainly understand the drive to provide the "best X, Y, and Z" for kids, but I'm pretty satisfied with reducing expenses and providing "good enough X, Y, and Z" for my son in exchange for not being stressed out and being able to spend more high-quality time with him.
I feel the same way - and that's no judgement on the other end. If a person is capable of dealing with the high stress and feels that quality time is less important, or is able to maintain a good balance and can provide that quality time regardless of FT employment, then I think it's an excellent choice for their life. I don't think there's a one size fits all option for this sort of thing.
