Married men of the OT, how many of you are single income HH?

Are most conservative members here single HH income? Would you be open to your wife working and putting kids in daycare?

In the current world and economy, 100%. You're playing with fire if you don't have multiple income steams coming in.

Technically I'm single income household, but my wife is the one working.
Kids all grown or off at college.

We could be, but that would be dumb

My wife doesn't work.
Sure. If we had to. But we don't. (My kids are in school).
And my wife staying home makes all of our lives easier.

Checking in. Best choice for raising our kids.
Worth the economic “hit”, although we are doing just fine.

My wife stays home with the kids
No way in hell I'd put them in daycare. But I wouldn't have had kids if I had to put them in daycare

My wife has never worked, other than taking care of the house and kids. Just made 30 years.
It was a decision we made together at the beginning. We both wanted our kids to have her at home, volunteering at school, bring everyone to practices, etc..
We struggled at times and weren't wealthy until all the kids left.

It's a career with a lot of openings.

If she wanted to, but it would have to be worth it. Bringing home 2k a month and spending 1k on childcare doesn't make much sense and I'd argue that pretty fiercely. Bringing home 10k a month is a different story.
Single income is stressful af these days, but you can't put a price on kids being raised by their mothers. It's the most important job in the world IMO.

My wife doesn’t work but she takes care of the house which is a pretty big job. Cooks, cleans, bills, all other house related items that come up. Makes everyones life easier. I make $400k+ a year so we don’t really need to have her work and stress out about the everyday stuff.

My wife works. But, she works at a high end salon in Baton Rouge, and only works about 22 hours a week and has a lot of freedom with her schedule. So, she is still able to do a lot of the stuff a stay at home mom can do, and takes care of getting the kids(2, ages 14 and 11) everywhere they need to go. Plus, she makes over $100k a year, so it would be stupid for her not to work.

Checking in. No, my choice would be to not have my kids in daycare or public school.

45 years ago this month my wife's doctor told her she was pregnant with our first child. She gave her 2-week notice the day she knew and we were a single income family from that day forward.
Our kids had a mom to see them off to school and be there when they got home - and she got to go on field trips as a chaperone and be with them during spring and summer break, if they were sick, on holidays, snow days, etc. And after school, their friends would come to our home for a snack and had adult supervision.
Our kids turned out great - successful adults now, never in real trouble - best decision for our family.
