yes, but my point is that my wife conciously retired from the workforce (as an IT management consultant) in order to help manage the homework load of our 3 kids, plus avoid the latch-key syndrome. This was around the time the oldest was in grade 6, so there was some strong parental guidance necessary that daycare couldn't provide.
So I wouldn't say that she would be 'disincentived' to re-enter the workforce, it's more like, as a household unit, we would definitely benefit from defining the sole source of income as supporting that unit, versus just the wage earner in the household.
