It would be nice if the pay was increased (or the prices of necessities lowered, or some combo) to the point that more parents could afford to have one person stay home. I stayed home with our kids from birth to kindergarten age, but there were some years where this was a real struggle for us financially (no regrets though, our children are our wealth...but it's nice to now have some extra income and not have to stress about paying the water and electric).
