If you're a WOH/WAH mom, what sort of "downsizing" would you need to do in order to afford to be a SAHM? (SAHM defined here as not earning any money)

For me, I would have to put all our non-essential possessions in storage and move in with my parents.

And expecting parents who for whatever reason can't or won't participate to suddenly become interested is realistic?

You do realize that your position is basically "Screw the underprivileged", right?

For "poor people", the gap between what they want and what they can provide is very large.
