    the wife’s 20 hrs a week isn’t enough to pay for childcare. the husband now works 60 hours a week (straight time, no OT), for 2 bucks more an hour than peons, not 10. now with ‘family’ health plan, his insurance cost has more than tripled. their combined net take-home is less than it was before. they divorce 18 months later.
