I can afford to work a lot less since we aren't paying full-time childcare. We save as much as we can. Our goal is to keep 1 parent at home when the kids are here as much as we can. I think it makes me appreciate all the more being at home. The difference I think in the poem is the priority kids take.
Some moms shove their kids off in care all the time.
I know stay at home moms who ignore their kids. I know working moms AND dads who are out 3-4 nights a week running around. Those parents, to me, should re-evaluate their priorities. Their kids know the difference too. Children know if parents care about them enough to spend time with them or not.
