because the .1%ers of tech workers no longer get child day care for free?

Because the developed world is actively hostile towards parents (caveat a few outliers). This is just an additional data point.

weird my family has 6 children and we've never had many issues, we also don't have company provided daycare or parents that come to act as a daycare. What is exactly the problem? why is it always the "developed world" that is responsible for peoples choices?

How is the developing world not hostile by comparison, pray tell?

It’s worse.

It's even lower in Nordic welfare states.
