I have an issue with breaking this down to simply an economic decision by using the term "fortunate". Implying that economics is the only reason that someone would choose any other method of raising your child. Like if you have two working parents it is because you choose money over your kids well being, etc, etc.

If it was simply an economic decision, you or anyone else could make many other choices and sacrifices for one person to stay home. The point is that many people do not make that choice, as it is not just an economic decision.
