Hi Kate, welcome
I can imagine this is the silent sadness for many parents.
Back in the 1980's my then first wife and I tried to create the old fashioned lifestyle in the country- mum and kids at home and dad goes to work. Even though we had a small mortgage I had to work 3 jobs to do this.
That leaves most parents now struggling with both working and day care. I still don't like the concept but economics dictate the lifestyle now.
I wonder how many young parents now have considered moving to the country, a small to medium size town so their quality of life for them and their children improves?
Anyway, I would like you to consider reading the first post of the following threads. That might help. Use google
