Times have changed.  When I was a child, few women worked, they stayed 
home to raise the kids.  It was rare that a mom worked.

In my case, we married in 1966 and just a couple of weeks before our 
wedding, there were problems where my future wife worked.  She quit and 
did not work for some years.  Then she ran a small part time (but 
profitable) business for a few years until we moved.

Many years later, ask our kids.  They liked coming home from school to 
mom, not a daycare.  Priorities.
