As much as a full time job? There are 168 hours in a week. Work is only 40. For many years, not even the night is your own. You are on call 24x7. Imagine a tech office asking a team of two to cover a 24x7 oncall rotation for for not 1, but 2 major applications that could crash at anytime, and do so often one way or another. Then ask them to spend 40 hours a week on a 2nd job. The reality is that we as a society (in the US at least) do children a disservice. Each one is different. They learn differently, they feel differently, their needs are different. And we hand the controls over to two people with no experience, and hardly any sleep to make some of the most important decisions in a childs life. Parents should have more support from trained professionals. That in turn would allow them to be more effective at work. Even couple where one parents stays home with the kids needs help. Often an outside perspective can spot things the people who are there all the time miss.
