My wife makes enough where even at $1700/m for daycare we still come out on top by quite a bit. She keeps kicking around the idea of staying him, but I'm not really interested in that. We would have to really adjust our lifestyle which doesn't appeal a lot to me.
It's a personal choice, but there are tangible benefits of one person staying home. The best part, for me, is my wife does all the errands and whatnot during the week. This means no trips to the grocery store, very little house BS (e.g. meeting handymen), etc. for us on weekends. That means we get to maximize "fun stuff" on days I'm not working. The money can be hard to give up though, if you're used to it.
Also, your lifestyle is going to change a fuckton anyway soooo...

"Here, at last, is the cure for texting while driving. The millions of deaths which occur every year due to the iPhone’s ability to stream the Kim K/Ray-J video in 4G could all be avoided, every last one of them, if the government issued everyone a Seventies 911 and made sure they always left the house five minutes later than they’d wanted to. It would help if it could be made to rain as well. Full attention on the road. Guaranteed." -Jack Baruth
