It always bugged me that if another parent was home with your kids, and they were parenting the kids while you work, how they still counted in numbers....if he is going to be home, my g/f should be able to bring more income in with taking on more kiddies!!!
With Ad still going in and out a bit for work, I couldnt get mine taken off numbers just yet... bummer!!
the only problem with doing it that way (day care wise) is the people per bathroom ratio - that still comes into it (at least here in victoria) so make sure to check if that will impact you/them in your state. i was deemed to not be requiring care (at 16 i think) but if i was home mum had to limit the number of kids in the house cos it was a one bathroom house
