Daycares are often somewhat expensive, because unlike public schools: these are not a socialized institution... so if they are dropping their children off at daycare every day (which you claim pisses you off): they can hopefully afford the service they're using. I thought it was a lovely sentiment indeed that options exist for those rich enough in money, but time starved.
Have you ever heard of family? My sister has, on occasion, spent a great deal of time as a single mother (or as an abused wife)... during this time, my mother took her and children in. Over the years of my life, my mother has often gone out of her way to take care of her grandchildren. And she takes care of my grandmother too, my mother's just that much of a badass.
Poor people should (in some cases) have a lot of children, because it's a reasonable investment for the future. You get a crapshoot of children, but it's more of a chance than you've got come twenty, thirty, forty years from now.
Mind you: quitting your job and raising children on 'benefits' is an option if the benefits are great enough. It's an option if they aren't, too

If a man and a woman are equally positioned (assuming they are male and female with 'traditional' genitalia): the man will always have more accurate piss.
If a man is sitting down on the toilet, he has X inches extension of his urethra over a woman in the same position, and can reposition the stream of piss with his hands if he wants to.
If a man is standing in front of a toilet, he still has those X inches extension of his urethra over a woman in the same position, and aiming is cake.
But... somehow they manage to miss. All the time. Holy shit.
I think that we should only allow men who are demonstrably extremely accurate the ability to purchase guns

Please give me a home where cloud buffalo roam
Where the dear and the strangers can play
Where sometimes is heard a discouraging word
But the skies are not stormy all day
