These are important points. When I had three little ones around the same age I wish I had the type of resources you describe above. In particular, being a nursing mother was very difficult. And I spent hours and hours trying to find summer arrangements for my children once they were in kindergarten. I felt that I sacrificed quality time with my children and family just figuring out the logistics needed to keep all the balls in the air and still pursue a career. More resources exist now, but there are still gaps and a lot of unequal access.
