Sure, but I'd like to see if your conjecture is actually backed up by the evidence. I too might be initially inclined to believe that monogamous partners are better for childcare, but I'm guessing that I am also epistemically biased towards that assumption, just as a product of the societal norms I've grown up with.

This is one of the second order negative effects of low birth rates in the developed world. Low birth rates mean low numbers of aunts, uncles, cousins, and other kinfolk who have a vested genetic interest in the well-being of your child. That's something that money just can't buy, no matter how great your nanny or pre-school or whatever is. And that's assuming you haven't moved away from your family, which many of us have.

Two adults earning incomes and a third (and maybe also a fourth) keeping house and taking care of the kids sure seems a lot better for everyone concerned from my perspective (normal 2-parent household with three young kids).
