More than ever two working parents is a necessity for many families. To place blame solely on the parents for these circumstances ignores the larger picture of where we want to be as a society. Of course choosing to have children has consequences, but parents in the US should be able to have a reasonable expectation for affordable childcare, especially in a society and economy that demands multiple working parents.
But of course instead we could just blame the parents for creating the current scenario of unaffordable childcare.
In your words, this is a failure of the parent, but I disagree.
