> the cost of childcare for both children encroaches the income of one parent alone

That's the case in the US. In countries where family welfare policies exist and where governments incentive and support families: that's hardly the case. Childcare is pretty much free or does not cost as nearly as much as in the US.

I think the US may be an advanced country for many aspects, but it is just ridiculously behind when it comes to healthcare and families.
