Unique contributions to society

In another thread, the "unique" contributions of SAHM's were alluded to but it wasn't stated what they are. Let's play a game and find out what they are. First, pretend that as of tomorrow, all moms SAH and detail what will be missing from society then pretend that all moms go to work and detail what will be missing from society. I'm really curious as to what people think a world without SAHM's orWOHM's would look like.
If all the moms who SAH went to work then the library would move story hour to the evening and summer vacation bible school would be held in the evenings so that all kids can attend and not just the kids of SAHM's. Banks would likely shift their hours to later in the day and you'd see more 24 hour stores. I think there would be more home cooking style restaurants too. I think day care centers would improve because of increased demand.
If all moms who WOH suddenly SAH, you'd see fewer service industries around because moms could do things themselves instead of paying for them. The nursing shortage would be more of a shortage. We'd probably have a shortage of teachers too. There'd be fewer government services because there'd be less tax dollars to pay for them. I can't think of anything else right now.

I didn't say anything about majority or minority.
I see that 89% of wohm with children use other arrangements, specifically school.

I never stated that you had to use daycare, or even that you should use daycare

Well here is another rub...if my child's preschool was less educational than his KDG...he would be pulled and if i needed day care for a four year old they would not be going to a preschool they would be attending a preschool not a daycare...
ALthoug it would depend on the hours needed for the daycare.
FOr real here iam not trying to be rude.
If i needed day care for 8 hours a day. that is what i would be looking for if i needed preschool out of those 8 hours that is what i would find.
I would not send my child to a preschool in a day care center...b/c they imo are two different thing's.
