Raising children can be better financial decision than staying in the work force.
There is much discussion surrounding what it costs to raise a child, but a large portion of the expense can be reduced by having a mum stay at home with her kids. This often thankless job doesn’t pay in the same way as a traditional occupation, however, leaving the matriarch of the family to garner her wages in snuggles and a somewhat delayed feeling of accomplishment.
