Keen to get the forums views on what point does childcare vs stay at home parenting become cost neutral,
In lamens terms, at what point are you no worse off or better off under the below scenarios
A - Parent stays home 5 days a week and looks after child. No salary. No childcare fees
B - Parent goes to work and pays childcare for 5 days a week. Earns a salary. Pays childcare fees
Assume dual income family under both scenarios
Obviously B makes sense if the difference is significant (everyone has their own view on what that is) but I don’t imagine most people would go with B if it meant an extra 1-2k per annum

- Also for some reason, I can’t change the post flair.
