Why hasn't anyone thought of this before? Should dad stay home too, or just mom? BTW, thanks for setting us back 50 years there. And at what point can mom go back to work? Never? After 5-10 years when her experience and degree are now rendered practically worthless (which brings us back to never)? And when dad can't make the rent on his own - like the overwhelming majority of the working families out there, what's your solution to that? Sell the kid on Ebay to give it a chance at a better life? Or do you think only moms who marry guys with good jobs should be the only ones who get to have kids? Maybe well-off people should be the only ones who get to breed - that would solve a lot of the world's problems, eh? Except many of us wouldn't be here, if that were the case. What about single parent families? Strap the kid to your back while you work? You think Vietmom's baby girl would be better off in some nasty foreign orphanage? I can think of plenty of people who shouldn't have kids, but it's certainly not because the child will spend time with a sitter or in daycare. Maybe rude people should be banned from reproducing - that would at least cut you out of the gene pool.
