On second thought, homeschooling wouldn't be a bad idea.
Roosh V home schooling anyone?
I've always thought that if I have kids, I'll have them home-schooled by my (common-law?) wife. The benefits are huge:
*Diminished need for a second car
*No need to live in expensive areas or distant suburbs with 'good schools'
*Your kids don't get brainwashed, and can learn at a much quicker, personalized pace
*No illiterate nannies raising your kids
*Hell, your wife could teach herself in the process and become more interesting.
*When the child is playing or otherwise occupied, the wife is free to make the home welcoming and beautiful.
What are the downsides? That she doesn't get to figuratively suck another man's dick eight hours a day, aka be a career woman? That said, good luck finding an American woman who finds this an appealing prospect.
Yeah, good luck with that. You'll have to look a long time to find a good looking woman who will do that, even a non-American. I had my Colombian wife home-school my son up until he started kindergarten. We had him tested to skip kindergarten and he placed higher than 90% of 1st graders in reading and higher than 50% of 1st graders in math and they still didn't move him up to 1st grade (I only mention that to tell you that we primarily used http://funnix.com for teaching him math and reading for 8 months before kindergarten... worth every penny... remember that for your future kids).
Wife wouldn't go along with more home-schooling. So put him in kindergarten this year hoping it won't do too much damage to him. Then we'll get out of the USA before the next school year and he'll either use http://robinsoncurriculm.com or get a private tutor (or both). This will cut his school time to no more than 3 hours a day with the flexibility of when he is studying and learning. Frees him (and my other son when he's old enough) up all day for me to train them in baseball, mma, and weightlifting.
It's funny, it reminds me of something I've noticed about American women - you can pay them shitty wages and they'll still do almost anything. And that's commendable, in a sense. But tell her to do it in the context of a relationship, and she'll scream, "What do you think I am, your slave?" The only exception to this is dirty sexual favors. They'll be more bothered making you an egg than licking your asshole.
Get a student to tutor your kid for $15 an hour? Not really a problem. Have your wife do the same thing? "Who the fuck do you think I am?" It could even be the same woman! Same goes for cleaning, cooking and any other domestic duty.
I once worked with this guy. Told me that he married the woman who cut his hair. And that she hadn't given him a haircut since the day they got married.
I recall there was an explanation of Roosh's experiences in Latvia, of how the women there had shifted sex from the 'gift economy' to the 'market' economy. Here's a good blog post on it:

it’s very inefficient to price everything, and to continually think of pricing. It’s better for individuals and the economy as a whole if people trust each other and create value for each other without (always) charging for it.
And that sounds a lot like the explanation as to why marriages where the chores are shared are more prone to divorce.
