I know some women who did an outsourced HR thing as a group of moms working out of their homes. We think of HR as commissars, but 95% of it is just paper shuffling for compliance purposes, which many businesses are more than happy to find someone to do. Its the new version of book-keeping, which is still probably the number one Mommalancer opportunity.
"Momlancing" is an interesting idea and I've seen firsthand how it can be the dealbreaker for a family that is struggling to keep things afloat, especially if the family is having children at a faster rate than the revenue increases.
I've also seen moms feel pressured to help the family make more money to keep the family "afloat" in a situation where "afloat" is...relative. "Afloat" is keeping the large, expensive house in an expensive area. It's eating out fairly often. It's traveling and spending pretty comfortably. I also think when mom is working it doesn't really offer much incentive for dad to expand his horizons and light the fire under his butt to start making more money. I say that as a dad who needs a fire under his butt.
As someone with a wife at home and 2 children, I don't understand how $140k is the requirement to have 2 children. Not criticizing, I just don't understand why that number is so high.
I know we don't live in a perfect world, but I'd like to see other solutions than adding another job to my wife's plate when she's already busy with tending to the kids, home and community.
Innovative thinking.

I'm in Dallas and 100k+ is absolutely necessary given rent prices, cost of catholic school, cost of cars, etc. And we just have one kid.
