Read Biographies of politicians pre 2000 - they are all mad obsessives and workaholics and lots of other thing aholics

Causes would include 1. It is very much no longer cool to have a non-working spouse for older millennials and below. 2. The money for any kind to wrap around nanny type thing OR a non working spouse just doesn’t stack up. 3. pandemic = parents **expect** to see more of younger kids and vice versa
