Ah, Pamela. He was a teacher, a musical director, a private piano teacher. We lived in a modest house in a stable neighborhood. I worked one, sometimes two jobs except when our children were very young, and daycare cost upwards of $2k/month, thus outweighing the benefit - his choice every bit as much as mine.

Even then, I worked on weekends and at a summer day camp.

Don't victim-shame. Women get enough of that already, thanks.
